The presiding judge, Justice Gabriel Kolawole, who dismissed the charge, noted that evidence cited in court did not prove that President Goodluck Jonathan, was the target of the attack, which occurred on October 1st, 2010.
Mr. Kolawole said the prosecutors failed to prove that Mr. Jonathan was sneaked out of the Eagle Square, venue of the 50th anniversary celebration of Nigeria’s independence.
The judge said the evidence did not prove a case of treason as contained in count one of the charge.

He also stated that the evidence brought forward did not prove that governors who attended a meeting on March 15, 2010 in Warri, Delta State, where another blast occured, were also intimidated.
He therefore dismissed a no-case submission filed by Mr. Okah and other defendants.
