Meanwhile, the presiding judge, Hon. Justice Joe Egwu has adjourned the matter to April 24 for the advice from the Department of Public Prosecution, DPP.
Reacting, Human right activist, Comrade Kelvin Ejumudo hailed the Court for remanding the suspect, stating that it will serve as a deterrent to others.
“For those who reached out to me to back off from this case and also offered money, I am sorry I do not indulge in such unscrupulous practice because an injury to one is an injury to all and injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere,” he stated.
