ABUJA- The Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, Friday, slated June 21 to determine whether the federal government has adduced sufficient evidence to warrant the prosecution of the alleged mastermind of the Christmas day bomb blast that killed about 44 persons and wounded 75 others at St. Theresa’s Catholic Church at Madalla, Niger State, in 2011.

Justice Adeniyi  Ademola fixed the date after the accused person and the federal government adopted written addresses yesterday.

The accused person, Kabiru Umar, a.k.a Kabiru Sokoto, had through his team of  lawyers led by Mr. Hassan Lukman,  maintained before the high court that he has no case to answer, insisting that the federal government failed to establish a prima-facie criminal case capable of warranting his conviction.
