THE prosecution witness five and a principal
technical officer with the Communication Intelligence
Department of the State Security Services (SSS) in
the October 1, 2010 twin bombing in Abuja, Wasiu
Agbaje, on Thursday, told a Federal High Court
sitting in Abuja that the explosion was simply to
"shake the nation" and create confusion in
government.
Agbaje, who gave evidence in the ongoing trial of
one of the accused, Edmund Ebiware, who was
charged alongside three others for the bombing, also
released the transcripts of text messages extracted
from two phones seized from Ebiware.
He said the text messages linked notable individuals
in the country, including the chairman of a private
broadcast outfit.
The witness said the bombing on the Independence
Day was planned for months before the bombers
struck, adding that the text messages extracted from
Ebiware's phones and the time the messages were
sent informed his conclusions.
