Court Adjourns Angwan Rukuba Terrorism Case to 2026

The Plateau State High Court, presided over by Justice Gidelia Fomyon, has adjourned the Angwan Rukuba terrorism case to July 1-2, 2026. The case involves four defendants accused of terrorism-related acts.

The Attorney General of Plateau State, Philemon Daffi, is leading the prosecution on behalf of the state government, while Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mustapha Shaba Ibrahim, represents the first and second defendants. M.

M. Salihu is the legal representative for the third defendant, and M.

B. Abdullahi represents the fourth defendant.

During the proceedings, Daffi informed the court that the matter was scheduled for a case management conference, and the prosecution was fully prepared to proceed. The defense counsel raised a preliminary objection regarding the court's jurisdiction, which the prosecution opposed, insisting that jurisdictional questions should be resolved before the trial.

The court noted the significant public interest in the case and adjourned the matter, with a report expected within 60 days.
