A Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has remanded Emmanuel Eke, Ogechi Ogbogu (popularly known as “United”), Charles Anayor (also known as “Biggie”), and Nelson Isaiah in the Port Harcourt Correctional Facility over allegations of kidnapping and murder.

The suspects are facing a three-count charge bordering on conspiracy, kidnapping, and murder.

They are alleged to have, sometime in 2012, conspired to abduct and subsequently murder one Ndubuisi Orlu Orlu in Ubima community, Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State.

The four accused persons, alongside others still at large, allegedly kidnapped the victim, who was a teacher from Ubima, collected a ransom of fifteen million naira, killed him, placed his body in a sack, and buried him in a forest between neighboring communities.

The accused pleaded not guilty to the charges when they were read in court.

No bail application was made, and the presiding judge, Justice Augusta Kingsley-Chukwu, ordered their remand in a correctional facility.

Justice Kingsley-Chukwu adjourned the case to the 20th and 27th of May, 2025, for the commencement of accelerated hearing.
