The Delta State Chief Judge, Justice Theresa Dei among other Judges including the Presiding Judge of the Warri Judicial Division of the Federal High Court, Justice M. I Sani are on a two-day visit to the Federal Correctional Centre (Prison) Warri.
J.A. Amahi Esq, a Delta State government lawyer, has been accused of purposefully preventing the release of Comrade Ighorhiohwunu Aghogho, a human rights activist and Delta State Chapter Coordinator of the human rights organisation, Take It Back Movement. Aghogho, who has been detained since June 2022, accused the prosecuting lawyer of deliberately frustrating the case to delay his release from prison. The activist had been at loggerheads with the police in the state after he protested against the lack of police vehicles for an investigation involving child trafficking.
A Federal High Court sitting in Warri, Delta State has fixed January 31, 2024, to hear the application to vary the bail conditions and Notice of Preliminary objection filed by the human rights activist, Comrade Ighorhiohwunu Aghogho. Aghogho, who is the Delta State Chapter Coordinator of Take-It-Back Movement, a pro-democracy organisation, has been illegally detained in prison over an alleged cyberstalking charge. He took a fresh plea when the case came up on Monday before Justice M.I. Sani of the Federal High Court, Warri.
The newly posted and presiding Judge of the Federal High Court, Warri Judicial Division, Justice M.I. Sani has fixed Monday, January 15 to commence the de novo criminal trial of frivolous cyberstalking charges against human rights activist and Delta Take-It-Back Movement's Coordinator, Ighorhiohwunu Aghogho. A trial de novo is a type of trial in which a case is retried without the influence of the previous trial's decision. This implies that Aghogho's matter will start afresh after spending 17 months in prison.
