….Defence Lawyer Alleges rushed trial
Three Anambra native doctors, Onyebuchi Okocha, (Onyeze Jesus), Chidozie Nwangwu, (Akwa Okuko) and Ekene Igboekweze, (Eke Hit) accused of aiding criminal activities in the state were today Friday 4th April, 2025 arraigned before a high court.
The three who were also accused of involvement in money rituals were arraigned in a Court presided over by Honourable Justice Jude Obiorah.
The native doctors in the heavily congested court were docked separately and their charges read out to them.
The charges were mainly for preparation of money rituals and protective charms for criminals.
Justice Onuorah however adjourned the matter to 11th April 2025.
Speaking to newsmen after the court proceedings, one of the Counsels for the 3 defendants, Remigus Okoli, said the state government came with a ploy to remand the defendants.
He insisted that the accused were not given adequate time to prepare for their defense.
Efforts to speak with Counsels to the state government led by F C Okeke were not successful.
