UMUAHIA – ABIA State Chief Judge, Justice Shedrack Nwanosike, has freed a suspect, Mr. Kelechi John Ugbor who has been in detention for six years for assault and dismissed his case.
Justice Nwanosike also granted a 16-year old Chinemerem Emenike bail to the tune of N500, 000. Emenike is said to be standing trial for murder.
Nwanosike who was on jail delivery at Afara Prisons, Umuahia, blamed Ugbor's problem on the Police and the Department of Public Prosecution, DPP, saying it was disgusting that the police and the DPP had not been doing their work.
"This man has spent a lot of time in the prison without any trial. If he had been taken to court and convicted he would have finished his term by now, therefore his case has been dismissed and acquitted", the Chief Judge said.
