A Mobile Court sitting at the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Umuahia, Abia State, has ordered the remand of one Ebochue Kingsley Uzoka, 40, over his alleged involvement in the m8rder of one Chimaobi Anya Ojo.

The suspect was arraigned on January 28, 2025, for conspiracy and m8rder.

According to the charges, Uzoka, along with others who are at large, were accused of conspiring to kill Ojo on September 20, last year, at Nkata Ibeku in Umuahia North.

Chief Magistrate P. N. Lekwa, adjourned the case to February 19, and directed the court’s Chief Registrar in Umuahia North, to transmit the case file to the state Attorney-General for further prosecution.

Ojo, 36, a native of Elu Ohafia in Ohafia Local Government, had returned from Poland in February 2024 to meet his newborn daughter and prepare a comfortable home for his family.

The victim’s life was said to have been cut short shortly after celebrating his daughter’s first birthday last September 8.
