The Rivers Police Command has arraigned the Commander of Onelga Security Peace and Advisory Committee, Rundele community, Emohua Local Government Area Nyeche Ajuru, before a Magistrate Court sitting in Port Harcourt for alleged unlawful possession of firearms, arson and murder.
But when the case was mentioned at the court, the presiding Chief Magistrate, Amadi Nna, stopped the accused person from taking his plea saying his court lacked jurisdiction to hear the case and citing a section of the Firearm Act and Criminal Code of the state.
