The suspects, Mahmud Muhammad, Abubakar Abbas, Abdulrazak Umar, Yunusa Musa and Shamsu Adamu Sani, face a six-count amended charge filed by the Director of Public Prosecutions, Rotimi Oyedepo, SAN. The previous day's hearing was adjourned after they rejected a Legal Aid lawyer and asked to be represented by their own counsel. Justice Salim Ibrahim directed the Department of State Services to give them access to their lawyer.
