Nigeria: Arms Shipment - FG Re-Arraigns Suspects



The Federal Government Monday re-arraigned the two accused persons standing trial for shipping arms from Iran to Nigeria, on fresh four-count charges before Justice Okechukwu Okeke of a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos.

The government, through her lawyer, Olufemi Fatunde, also withdrew the former three-count charge under which the accused have up till now been tried.

The offences in the new charge were very similar to those contained in the old charge, though the new charge contained more specific facts on the types of weapons seized from the accused persons.
