Today is the 5th day of August and on this day we remember the victims of the Aluu community killing, UNIPORT students - Tekena Elkanah, Ugonna Obuzor, Chiadika Biringa, and Lloyd Michael which happened on October 5, 2012.
We pray their dear souls continue to rest in peace and God give strength and grace to all those left behind to mourn them.
Here is an update on the matter:
The murder trial of four male undergraduate students of the University of Portharcourt, who were lynched by a mob in Aluu community in Rivers State, last year, resumed on August 1, 2013 at the Port Harcourt high court.
Justice L L Nyoordee adjourned the matter till August 15 for hearing on the bail applications filed by the counsels representing the 12 persons accused of killing the students. The judge adjourned the matter after the counsels announced the bail applications for their clients.
All the accused persons pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The Solicitor General of Rivers State, Rufus Godwin brought an amended charge including one more person accused of murder in the case which was opposed by the defense counsels. One of counsels to the accused, Kennedy Amos told our correspondent that the case has resumed properly following the plea by the accused and the bail application by the defense counsels.
Meanwhile, the women of Okirika staged a protest at the state
High court in Port Harcourt, on August 1, over the delayed trial of the 12 persons accused of the murder of their two sons in the incident. Leader of the women, who were dressed in black with placards, Gift Amangi, said the women are calling for justice and speedy dispensation of justice.
