A Warri magistrate’s court, Delta State, has remanded five
suspects arraigned on a 10- count charge of kidnap, robbery and murder...
The
suspects allegedly committed the offence during the August 22 attack on
Ugborodo indigenes, who were in a ferry to attend a meeting at Ode-Ugborodo,
Warri South-West, in which two were killed. Those arraigned include Charles
Kpotor, 51; Uwawah Emmanuel, 34; Geoffrey Ereoma, 36; Jolomi Meshagharun, 46,
and Chairman of Parallel Ugborodo Administrative Committee, Churchill Newton,

jurisdiction to hear the case. He remanded the accused at the Okere Prisons,
Warri, and adjourned till October 19, when the prosecutors should have
arraigned them before the state High Court, Warri.
