The Federal Government on Tuesday arraigned four persons allegedly belonging to the Islamic fundamentalist sect, Boko Haram, before a Federal High Court in Lagos.Two of the accused persons – Adamu Mohammed, Mohammed Mustapha – were specifically accused of having, in June or July this year, plotted to attack the Kirikiri Maximum Prison in Lagos to free their members held in custody.The two other accused persons are Bura Hassaini and Mohammed Ibrahim.The government accused Hassaini of having facilitated the activities of the militant group in Borno State by monitoring the activities of the security agents and reporting his findings on the telephone to the leadership of the sect.All the four accused persons, who were arraigned before Justice Saliu Saidu on Tuesday, pleaded not guilty to all the three counts preferred against them by the Federal Government.No lawyer represented the accused persons during the proceedings, but the charges were read in English language and interpreted to them in Hausa language.The suit was with charge number, FHC/L/3169/13.According to the  first count, the four were arrested sometime in June/July 2013 at Wasein, a hideout at Orile-Iganmu area, Apapa, Lagos, and at 3, Denton Street, Yaba, Lagos, by a team of security agents “for belonging to a proscribed organisation to wit: ‘Boko Haram’ sect”.
