The Federal Government, Monday, filed an additional 10-count terrorism charge against the three Lebanese suspects, Mustapha Fawaz, Abdullahi Thahini and Tahal Roda, accused of complicity in the illegal importation of arms into Nigeria.
The action of the FG brought the total charge against the accused persons who were said to belong to the military wing of an alleged Lebanon based terrorist group, Hezbollah, to 16-counts.
Meanwhile, the three suspects who were charged alongside their business outfits, Amigo Supermarket Limited and Wonderland Amusement Park Resort, Monday, pleaded not guilty to the amended charge and were subsequently remanded in custody of the Department of State Services, DSS, by trial Justice Ademola Adeniyi.

Lebanese regains freedom, 3 weeks after abduction
BY SIMON EBEGBULEM
BENIN CITY - The Lebanese attached to the Setraco Construction Compnay, Mr Toni Yosse, who was kidnapped by gunmen three weeks ago in Benin City, regained his freedom early Thursday.
Vanguard learnt that he was found at Obiaruku in Delta State at about 1 am. It would be recalled that the Lebanese was abducted three weeks ago at Upper Mission after a soldier guarding the expatriate workers was shot dead.
It was learnt that the construction company has been in serious negotiation with the kidnappers with a view to secure the release of their colleague.
The Edo State Police Commissioner, Folunso Adebanjo, could not be reached to confirm the release but Vanguard sighted the Lebanese at the Police Command, yesterday.
There was jubilation at the Setraco office in Benin City yesterday when the kidnapped Lebanese met with his colleagues. The workers had boycotted work since he was abducted and vowed not to resume construction work in the state until he is released
