Federal High Court Denies Bail to Man Accused of Planning School Attacks in Abuja

The Federal High Court in Abuja has denied bail to John Jude Agbo, who was arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) for allegedly planning multiple attacks on schools in the Federal Capital Territory.Justice Joyce Abdulmalik rejected the bail application after the prosecution presented a fourth witness and closed its case.Agbo faces terrorism and cybercrime charges for planning to harm students, teachers, and school infrastructure.The judge ruled there was no evidence Agbo would not flee, ordering him to be remanded in custody.A DSS officer testified about the investigation, including an audio-visual recording of Agbo's interview, which was admitted as evidence.The prosecution concluded its case, and the court adjourned the trial until September 24 for Agbo to present his defense.The case highlights concerns about security in educational institutions and the legal process for handling terrorism-related charges.Authorities emphasize the need for strict measures to prevent attacks on vulnerable targets like schools.
