charles_okahThe Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Federal Government to furnish Mr Charles Okah, Obi Nwabueze and their counsels all the necessary documents they intend to tender during their trial for the 2010 Independence Day bombing.

The order issued on Monday would allow the defence study the documents and decide which they would object to or otherwise.

According to the trial judge, Justice Kolawole, the order was in line with the new practice direction aimed at fast-tracking trials.

The case has been adjourned to 19 May for continuation of trial.

Mr Charles Okah and his co-accused, Obi Nwabueze are accused of complicity in the 2010 Independence Day bombing in Abuja which killed at least 10 persons and injured 10 others.
