Three men, believed to be involved in the kidnap of Delta State Commissioner for Higher Education, Prof. Hope Eghagha, rights activist, Mike Ozekhome (SAN), former Anambra State Deputy Governor, Dr. Chudi Nwike and many others, were arraigned before a Magistrate Court in Wuse Zone Two, Abuja, on Tuesday.
The trio- Kelvin Ibruvwe (a suspected lead-kidnapper), Frank Azuekoh and Haruna Momoh – were accused of being behind some highly coordinated kidnapping activities in the South-south region of the country and Abuja.
Nwike, who was reportedly kidnapped in early March this year, was recovered dead few days later in a community close to Agbor, Delta State, by security agents.
The suspects were brought to court by stern-looking and heavily armed security personnel.
Prior to their arrival, major entrances to the court premises, located within a residential estate, were secured by armed security personnel.
The suspects, who looked blank, were promptly taken before Magistrate Usman Ahmed Shuaibu, where a First Information Report (FIR), prepared by the Department of State Services (DSS), dated October 28 but filed October 29 was read to them.
They were also accused, in the FIR, of ambushing and attacking a prison vehicle conveying some arrested members of the group. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
