ONITSHA—An Abagana Chief Magistrate's Court in Anambra State, presided over by Mrs. M. Mbakwe, Tuesday, remanded in the prison custody seven accused persons arraigned before the court on a four- count charge of conspiracy, kidnap and ransom demand.
.
In her ruling, shortly after hearing from both the prosecution and counsel to the accused persons, Mbakwe adjourned the matter to October 7 for report of compliance on the kidnap case.
.
She advised counsel to the accused to appeal for their bail in the High Court as her court lacks the jurisdiction to grant bail and to entertain the matter.
.
She also demanded that their case files be transferred to the state Director of Public Prosecutions, DPP, for Attorney-General's advice.
.
The seven persons are Chukwudi Enebeli 28; Arinze Chukwurah 29; Chukwunonso Okozu 20; Chukwuani Chukwunonso 25; Okwudili Nwoye 35; Solomon Mbanamali, 29 and Anagbokwu Ikume 32.
