The hearing for the murder trial of 12 suspects linked to the death of Police Inspector Christiana Erekere has suffered a setback before the Rivers State High Court in Port Harcourt.<\/p>\n

The suspects are facing thirteen counts, including conspiracy to commit murder and murder, among other capital charges.<\/p>\n

Inspector Erekere was killed on April 25, 2024, while on stop-and-check duty at a police checkpoint in the Taaba community of Khana Local Government Area.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that the incident occurred when a police team questioned the validity of the documents for one of the vehicles the suspects were traveling in, which escalated into a mob attack that resulted in Erekere\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

The suspects arraigned in court include Joy Uheraka, Shirley Wealth, Napoleon Uheraka, Ejiro Ejogbamu, Moses Agege, and Precious Iyota.<\/p>\n

Also among the defendants are Kikelomo Odusanyo, Wealth Ojoh, Efeoghene Uheraka, Ighofose Oke, Blessing Ovie, and Emeka Joshua.<\/p>\n

During the court proceedings on Tuesday, one of the defendants informed the judge that she had not yet secured legal representation.<\/p>\n

Consequently, trial Judge Justice Augusta Chukwu adjourned the case until November 15, 2024, due to the nature of the matter.<\/p>\n

The suspects were reportedly traveling from Delta State to Akwa Ibom State for a wedding when they allegedly committed the crime.<\/p>\n
