A High Court of Plateau State, on Tuesday, rejected a motion by suspect, Auwalu Abubakar for transfer from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) to seek medical attention at the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH). The judge held that upon the suspects’ arrest by the DSS, a medical examination was conducted, and that the result declared them all medically fit for detention. In rejecting the motion seeking the third defendant’s transfer to JUTH, he judge also held the court cannot grant a relief upon documents that are not placed before it. Ruling on an motion on jurisdiction by four suspects, Justice Gedeliah Fwomyon of the State High Court, said the TPPA did not forbid High Courts from trying terrorism suspects. They argued that, since the charges against the men are terrorism, the state high Court lacked the jurisdiction to entertain the matter.
