An Abakaliki Chief Magistrate Court in Ebonyi State has remanded four suspects accused of subjecting two widows and a man to jungle justice.
The suspects, identified as Egwuonwu Jonah, Sunday Obasi, Ogonnaya Eze aka Boss, and Godwin Nwokoro-Obi, face 10-count charges, including conspiracy, attempted murder, and malicious damage.
According to reports, the suspects allegedly committed the offences on February 21, 2025, in Mebi-Okpa, Okposi, Ohaozara Local Government Area.
The suspects reportedly beat the victims, paraded one of the widows half-naked, forced them to drink contaminated water, and administered a concoction made from a deceased person’s blood and mucous.
The court has adjourned the case to May 9, 2025, for further proceedings, pending compliance by the Office of the State Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).
