Justice Olabisi Akinlade of a Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja has
fixed the arraignment of persons found culpable in the murder of Cynthia
Osokogu Udoka to February 5, 2013.
The arraignment was scheduled to hold on Thursday but the absence of
one of the pharmacists, Orji Osita, stalled the arraignment before the
court.
Osita was to be arraigned with three others. Those who were to be
arraigned before the court included the two main culprits, Okwumo
Echezona Nwabufo and Ezike Ikechukwu Olisaeloka and Ezike Nonso
Ifechukwu for receiving stolen goods.
Though the main culprits appeared before Justice Akinlade, they could
not be arraigned because Osita, who is said to be enjoying a bail
granted him by a magistrate’s court, did not show up before the case was
adjourned.
Lagos State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Ade
Ipaye, had told a news conference in Lagos that all those found culpable
in the killing of Cynthia would be tried for her murder based on the
advice of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).
The DPP’s advice written to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, D
Department, Panti, Yaba, signed by Mrs M.B. Olaniyi for the Attorney
General and Commissioner for Justice had found Okwumo Echezona Nwabufo
and Ezike Ikechukwu Olisaeloka as the main culprits for the muder of
Cynthia.
The duo were found culpable of offences of murder, conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to commit felony to wit stealing.
On the other hand, Ifechukwu was found culpable of receiving stolen property contrary to Sections 326(1) (2) Law of Lagos State.
