The 13 people arrested for the October 5th murder of four students of
the University of Port Harcourt were meant to appear in court yesterday Thursday December 20th but the trial was stalled due to the failure of prison officials to produce them in
court.
At the resumed hearing yesterday morning, the
prosecutor told the court that the accused
persons were in the court cell, but could not be brought in because of
shortage of prison personnel. Yes, they actually said that! Shortage of prison personnel? Does that even make sense? The prosecutor also said he was yet to receive any advice on
the matter from the Director of Public prosecution to whom the case file
was referred.
The case was then adjourned till February 28, 2013. The suspects were remanded in prison.
Meanwhile the police has arraigned three more persons for the brutal killing of Tekena, Iloyd, Ugonna and Chiadika. They are: Finebone Jeffrey (23), Joshua Ekpe (27), and Abang Cyril (27), all arraigned on a five-count charge of conspiracy and murder
The NBA chapter in Port Harcourt, who sent representatives to the trial yesterday, demanded access to the case file and the court ordered the release of the files to them.
Why can't the court be moved to their prison for ease? .......ng owerri

ReplyDeleteHmmm I hope this won't b thrown under the carpet as is d case in nigeria, those innocent boys deserve justice!!! It would b very unfair to let this case die just like others
ReplyDeleteNo matter how high a ball is thrown to the sky, it must surely locate the ground. No matter how long it takes them to dispense justice, justice must come. The blood of this young men cannot stop boiling until those infidels pay for their crime.
ReplyDeleteAfter dancing around the bush so, hope they would truly serve justice.
ReplyDeleteGod is watching them. *SMH
ReplyDeleteNigeria! What a flimsy excuse from the prison services? God, please deliver our land in Jesus name.
ReplyDeleteThe officials in charge should @least show some competence/seriousness especially as this case is sensitive,and we as Nigerians should follow the case so as to keep them(officials) on their toes
ReplyDeleteIf the killers aint brought to book, God will surely punish the authorities cuz na so stories dey take start. Next will be that they've escaped like d boko haram boss. If any of my family member was involved, God knows I'll seek foreign court cuz Nigeria aint it one bit.
ReplyDeleteAdjourned till Febuary? Na when all the suspects finish for the prison them wan judge the case?
ReplyDeleteThey say ignorance is not an exception to the rule of law.And God also says in His words that my people perish due to lack of knowledge. In all of this, i still feel pity for this ignorant wicked men. Anyways, let them and others learn from it.
ReplyDeleteIs somebody mad? Maybe money has changed hands somewhere. They should speed up the case abeg!!! Nonsense.
ReplyDeleteDis is absolutely crazy!
ReplyDeleteIn Nigeria everything is possible including irrelevant excuses. Let justice be visited on these beasts in human form, biko!

ReplyDeleteThis isn't all about arrest but the questions here is have the nigeria police arrest the main people involved in this crime or did they arrest d innocent once? Yes we all want justice but remember it must be a fair one
ReplyDeleteFailed govt, failed system, failed judial system , everything about that country is just pathetic except the money laundering part by the useless govt! That's where their passion is, how much money goes into their foreign accts etc... They do not care abt the citizens... God will fight on behalf of those 4 innocent guys whether the Nigeria's Court of Law does or not! Gbam!
