Four brothers in the Ushongo Local Government Area of Benue were on Thursday remanded in Makurdi for allegedly killing a 35-year-old man in a police cell.
The brothers – Aondoyima Asua, Terpav Asua, Terkula Asua and Luher Asua – were charged with conspiracy, trespass, mischief and murder.
They appeared before a Makurdi Chief Magistrates’ Court.
The Chief Magistrate, Mr Vincent Kor, did not take the plea of the defendants for want of jurisdiction.

The prosecutor told the court that the defendants were arrested during the police investigation.
According to Ato, the alleged offences contravene Sections 97, 349, 329 and 222 of the Penal Code Law of Benue, 2004.
