The Magistrate’s Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Wednesday remanded 13 suspects arrested in connection with the killing of four students of the University of Port Harcourt.
The accused persons were allegedly part of a mob that tortured the four undergraduates to death in Omuokiri Aluu in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Presiding Magistrate, Emmanuel Woke, however, said the court did not have the jurisdiction to hear the matter consequently announced the transfer of the case to the Department of Public Prosecution for legal advice and subsequent arraignment in a High Court.
The court, however, adjourned the case till December 20, 2012. (Source: Punch)
