Five persons standing trial for conspiracy to rob Gov. Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa in his hometown are to remain in custody  until Jan. 31, 2019, PoliticsNGR has learned.

The development followed adjournment of the trial by Justice E.T Okara, after cross examination of a prosecution witness,  Insp. Ekpang Columba, by defence counsel, Messrs Julius Eyokoragha and Stanley Damabide.

The accused  have been in prison since their  arrest in May.

They are facing trial before a Sagbamam High Court sitting in Yenagoa in Charge No. SHC/9C/20188.

The accused, including Esther Engbeke, Tamnatony Jacob, Wodu Ebikebomu and Sinclair, were charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery at Dickson’s residence contrary to Robbery and Firearms Act of 2004.

They, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The accused had told the court that they merely contemplated whistle blowing to disclose a location in Dickson’s hometown, Toru Orua in Sagbama LGA, where money was stashed.

Columba, also the Investigating Police Officer, testified  during the cross examination that no weapon was found on the accused  when they were arrested.

He said, “No weapon was recovered from the offenders; they were making plans to get weapons but no weapon was recovered from them.”

The judge  adjourned for cross-examination of other prosecution witnesses.

According to the prosecution, one of the accused, a construction worker at Dickson’s residence, had discovered a room stuffed with cash.

If dey didnt rob d gov, who will


No be awa money

K

De no plan am well

At least they will spend xmas in jail. No pity

gbam

Only God knows the truth. If eventually they were implicated, it is now they will realize that we are in a state where innocent people are sent to jail while the real criminals roam our streets.

But why

Can I see their face❔❔

Discovered a room filled with cash? Does the law allow Seriake to keep Bayelsa money in his house? CORRUPTION

A construction worker went beyond his brief to see cash and plan robbery against his employer. TRESPASS and GREED

No weapon found on suspects except intention to rob. The suspect's have been in detention since May. JUSTICE DELAYED

RULING : The suspects should be released having spent time in prison. Gov. Seriake should tell us how the money developed legs and walked into that room.

Whistle blower still exists?

I just had to reply because I have been seeing stupid comments of cowardly people begging criminals
to help them deal with politicians.

Our armed robbers should upgrade

From the bold, it is clear that you are one of them.
