The Federal High Court has scheduled December 5, 2025, for the trial within trial of defendants accused in the United Nations House bombing case. The hearing will include Boko Haram leader, Al-Barnawi, and several others linked to the attack.

The trial within trial is aimed at determining the admissibility of key evidence before the main trial proceeds. This legal step ensures that any evidence used against the accused meets judicial standards. Lawyers for the prosecution and defense will present arguments regarding the legitimacy and relevance of submitted materials.

Authorities emphasized the importance of this process in maintaining a fair trial, as it separates procedural and evidentiary issues from the substantive trial of the accused. The court expects both parties to cooperate and adhere to legal procedures during this stage.

The main trial will continue after the outcome of the trial within trial, as the court seeks to ensure justice for the victims of the UN House bombing. Security remains tight, given the high-profile nature of the defendants and the case.
