Nigeria: Lebanese in 'Hezbollah' arms refused bail

None

A high court judge refused bail for three Lebanese-Nigerian men accused of hoarding an arms cache in Nigeria's troubled north for the Lebanese political party and militant movement Hezbollah.

 

Judge Adeniyi Ademola Adetokunbo said Friday the men and quantity of arms discovered "pose national security challenges." Northeast Nigeria is under a state of emergency to halt an uprising by Islamic extremists. (AP)
