Charles
Charles Okah, the brother of alleged militant leader, Henry, has collapsed in court just before his trial on charges he took part in an Oct. 1 bomb attack on Abuja, Associated Press reports.
Charles, visibly ill, fell to the ground before his trial in Abuja.
Okah's lawyer, Ogheneovo Otemu, said his client had complained about being ill and had received no medical care while in custody.
Okah and others were arrested during a raid on his Lagos home on Oct. 17. Okah and three others face terrorism charges over the dual car bombing that struck Abuja during Nigeria's Independence Day celebrations, killing at least 12 people and wounding dozens more.
Okah's brother, Henry, faces terrorism charges in South Africa over the attack.
