Justice Ademola Adeniyi, presiding over a Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday ordered the Minister of Justice to file charges against a Kogi State University lecturer, Nazeef Yunus, charged with terrorism within seven days.

He said that the Attorney-General should file the charges against the accused or show reason why the accused should not be discharged at the next sitting.

Yunus and five others arrested in October last year are being held in the custody of the Department of State Security.

They were arrested on allegations of having links with Boko Haram and planning to carry out terrorist acts.

The other accused are: Umar Musa, Mustapha Yusuf, Ismaila Abdulazzez, Ibrahim Hayafu and Salami Abdullahi.
