Nnamdi Felix \/ Abuja<\/strong><\/p>\n Trial of suspected mastermind of the December 2011 bombing of St. Theresa’s Catholic Church, Mr. Kabiru Umar, also known as Kabiru Sokoto resumed before a federal high court sitting in the Nigerian capital, Abuja Thursday, with the disclosure that the group received funding from an Algerian group known as Musilimi Jaa’maa<\/em>.<\/p>\n The court, which had been conducting the trial through an interpreter due to the suspected terrorist’s claim that he does not understand the English language, was shocked when one of the prosecution’s witnesses, named XYZ and wearing mask for security purposes, told the court that the suspect willingly wrote his statement upon his arrest in very clear and precise English.<\/p>\n Following this disclosure, the court confirmed its veracity from the suspect and subsequently excused the court’s interpreter who had been interpreting proceedings into Hausa language to the suspect.<\/p>\n
