Court Denies Bail to Man Planning School Attacks in Abuja
On September 24, 2026, Justice Joyc Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja 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 (FCT). The prosecution presented four witnesses and closed its case against Agbo, who faces charges related to terrorism and cybercrime.
During the proceedings, the court was shown audio-visual evidence from Agbo's interview session, where he allegedly admitted to the plans. Justice Abdulmalik ruled that there was no evidence to suggest that Agbo would not jump bail, leading to the decision to remand him in the custody of the Nigerian Correctional Service.
The matter was adjourned for further proceedings.
