One of the five suspected bombers of Nyanya and Kuje, both satellite towns in Abuja, on October 2, 2015, Abdulwaheed Nasiru, on Thursday pleaded guilty to one of the five counts of terrorism instituted against them by the Federal Government.
Nasiru pleaded guilty to the possession of materials used for making Improvised Explosive Device and 12 already made ones when arrested along with other co-accused persons behind Military Cementary Airport Road in Abuja on October 6.
Nasiru, the fourth accused person in the charges, had along with fifth accused person Abdullahi Nasiru, had sought the charges to be interpreted to them in pidgin English.
He was repeatedly asked if he understood the charges and he maintained that he was guilty.
Even the intervention by his lawyer, Mr. Nurein Sulyman, who jumped up from his seat and approached the dock to ask him if he truly understood what he pleaded guilty to, would not make him change his plea.
While admitting his guilt, he said he was not the owner of the IED materials but his friend’s.
“No be get am; na my friend get am,” he said in pidgin English.
The rest of the accused persons pleaded not guilty to the rest of the charges.
The rest of the accused persons are Abdulazeez Muhazab, Ishaka Salihu and Mohammed Jimoh. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
