The defendants, initially scheduled to be arraigned last Friday, were unable to take their pleas due to the absence of legal representation. The charges, filed by M.B. Abubakar, Director of the Department of Public Prosecutions of the Federation, accuse Musa Kamarawa, Abubakar Hashimu , Bashir Abdullahi, Samuel Chinedu, and Lucky Chukwuma of aiding terrorist activities in Zamfara, Sokoto, and Kaduna States.
