The Magistrate Court in Port Harcourt has ordered the remand of three African Democratic Congress (ADC) members from Ikwerre Local Government Area in Rivers State, Confidence Amadi, Chikezie Justice, and Isaiah Thomas, to the Port Harcourt Correctional Centre. The suspects were charged with conspiracy, alleged cult-related activities, and threat to life, with the prosecution requesting an ex-parte application to remand them, citing the lack of jurisdiction in the Magistrates' Court.
Presiding Magistrate Obiangeri Onugbum-Onuoha granted the application and ordered the suspects to remain in the correctional centre, with the case adjourned until October 2nd, 2026. The ADC claims the arrests were politically motivated and baseless, alleging that the All Progressives Congress (APC) was attempting to restrict opposition parties' activities in the area.
