Over 20 people who were detained in connection with a meeting of members of the Atiku Support Organization in the state correctional facility have been remanded by a magistrate court in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State.
On charges of conspiracy, cultism, and unlawful assembly, they were charged.
After rejecting the defense attorney’s request for bail, Chief Magistrate Collins Ali ordered that the suspects be remanded in custody before adjourning the case until March 22, 2023, when bail will be considered.
When the case was mentioned in court on Monday, Chief Magistrate Collins Ali, following the fact that the charge was said to be moved on ex-parte application, did not allow the charge to be read or plea taken but directed that the case file be transmitted to the office of Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for advice and information.
