Also, the police on its part failed to produce the suspects from the Ogwashi-Uku prisons where they are being remanded when the case came up for hearing yesterday. When the case was called up yesterday in the court and the Magistrate wanted to know whether his earlier order to the police since May 24 directing them to duplicate and send the case file to the DPP for legal advice had been complied with, the Prosecuting Police Officer, Sergeant Vincent Omorogbe answered in the affirmative. He said: “your worship, the file has been sent to the DPP and the copy of the covering letter seeking for the legal advice is here sir.” As a result of the answer from the Prosecuting Police Officer, the presiding Chief Magistrate Grade II, Mr. S.C. Ehikwe ruled that “pending when information may be filed at the High Court, Ogwashi-Uku since the case file has been duplicated, this charge has further been adjourned to 29th of July, 2004 for mention.” Facing a three-count charge of armed robbery attack on the late Chief Dikibo are Solomon Igbinedion (24), Onyeka Emordi (22), Chukwuyem Solomon (20) and Chinedu Boi (17). One of the three-count charge stated that “you Solomon Igbinedion, Onyeka Emordi, Solomon Chukwuyem, Chinedu Boi and others at large on the same date and time along Ogwashi-Uku/Kwale Road on the 6th of February 2004 did rob Chief A.K. Dikibo with firearms and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 1 (2) (a) and (b) of the Robbery and Firearms (Special Provisions) Act Cap 398 Vo. XXII laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990.”   Home  |  Cover Stories  |  National Newsreel  |  Politics  |  Business  |  Sports  |  World  | Contact  | Advert Rates © 1998- 2004.
