‎‎ABUJA – Justice Ademola Adeniyi of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, Wednesday, dismissed the N600million lawsuit that was slammed against the Federal Government by the alleged mastermind of the April 14 bomb blast that killed over 75 persons and wounded 100 others at a crowded motor park in Nyanya Abuja, Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche.

Nyanya bomb blast suspect Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche sits in the courtroom in Abuja on November 24, 2014. A Nigerian court on November 24 struck out terrorism related charges against Ogwuche, the alleged mastermind of an April 14, 2014 bus station bomb blast in Nyanya, an outskirt of the capital city of Abuja, which was claimed by Boko Haram islamists, that killed 71 people and wounded 124.

Ogwuche had gone to court to challenge his continued detention in the custody of the Department of State Service, DSS, insisting that his fundamental human right is being violated by the Nigerian government.

Though he initially demanded to be paid N100 million as damages, Ogwuche, through his lawyer Mr. Ahmed Raji, SAN, subsequently amended his application and upgraded the damage sum to N600m.
