The Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday reserved judgment in the trial of five men charged with alleged involvement in the June 5, 2022 attack on St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State.
The Department of State Services (DSS) charged Idris Omeiza, Al Qasim Idris, Jamiu Abdulmalik, Abdulhaleem Idris, and Momoh Abubakar with nine-counts of terrorism.
Justice Emeka Nwite made this known after lawyers to the prosecution and the defence adopted their final written addresses and presented their arguments for and against the case.
Justice Nwite said that judgment would be reserved to a date to be communicated to parties.
The judge told lawyers to the parties that they would receive notice from the court once the judgment was ready, hinting that the notice could be within 24 hours.
