Two men and a woman were on Wednesday remanded by the Federal High Court in Ibadan for their roles in the January 16 Bodija explosion in Ibadan, Oyo State.
According to InsideOyo, the trio Ramatu Camara, 47, Ganiu Malik, 20 and Abubakar Samasa 64, were charged to court by the police with conspiracy, use of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, stock piling of radio active materials and dispersal of biological weapons charged to court by the police .
They pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Earlier, the police prosecution, Mr Michael Ojeah had told the court that Camara, Malik and Samasa were facing a five-count charge.
Ojeah further added that the defendants and others, at large, committed the crime about 7.30 p.m on January 16, at Aderinola of Dejo-Oyelese Street, Adeyi Avenue, Old Bodija Ibadan, Oyo State.
The Prosecution said the defendants stored radio active materials inside a building which exploded and led to the death of a 65 year-old woman known as Bolanle Badmus and 13 others.
He subsequently informed the court that he was prepared to present his case.
However, the defence counsel, Mr Adeola Adebayo, prayed the court for a short adjournment in order to file some applications.
Justice E.U. Akpan ordered that they should be remanded in the Agodi correctional centre.
Akpan adjourned the suit until April 11 for hearing in their bail applications.
