Five Fubara loyalists sent to Kuje prison over River Assembly attack

Five men were on Thursday sent to the Kuje prison on the order of an Abuja high court over the last attack on the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Justice Bolaji Olajuwon said the five, arrested in Port-Harcourt and brought to Abuja for prosecution, should be kept in prison until February 2 when their bail applications would be considered.

The five said to be loyalists of the state governor Siminalayi Fubara are Chime Eguma Ezebalike, Prince Lukman Oladele, Kenneth Goodluck Kpasa, Osiga Donald and Ochueja Thankgod.

They were arraigned on a seven-count charge, marked FHC/ABJ/CR/25/2024 filed by the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).

The defendants are accused of committing alleged terrorism offences by invading, vandalizing and burning down the Rivers State House of Assembly in the wake of the political crisis witnessed in Rivers State in October last year

They are also accused of killing a Superintendent of Police, (SP) Bako Agbashim, and five police informants in the Ahoada community in the state.
