Two suspects, Gospel Lloyd and Obinna Emmanuel, have been arraigned before a Chief Magistrate Court in Port Harcourt for alleged murder of an agent of the Department of State Services in Rivers State.
Gospel and Obinna are accused of killing Garry Jonathan Oyagiri of the DSS on March 18th.
The alleged crime happened at Obagi in Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni Local Government Area on the eve of the legislative rerun elections in Rivers State.
The DSS claims that the accused persons attacked Garry Jonathan Oyagiri with firearms and machetes, leading to his death.
However; counsel to the accused persons, Martina Okpebie, said the Magistrate Court lacked jurisdiction to hear the case because of the weight of the charges.
Chief Magistrate BMF Jamabo adjourned the matter to 11th August to seek the advice of the Director of Public Prosecution.
