An Islamic scholar accused of being al-Qaeda's link to Nigeria has appeared in court in the capital, Abuja.
Muhammed Ashafa from the northern city of Kano, claims he was tortured into confessing to a planned attack on American interests in the country.
But two agents from the State Security Services told the court on Wednesday he had signed a statement voluntarily.
He was arrested in Pakistan in 2004. Security services there deported him back to Nigeria over a year ago.
He has been in the custody of the Nigerian security services since then.
