“Our personnel were finally released by the military with the intervention of our Sector Commander, Uche Chukwurah,“ she said.
The Chief Magistrate, Anthony Nwusulor in his judgment, said the court was instituted to ensure justice to all citizens and sentenced the defendant to 30 days imprisonment.
