Court Remands Prince Nonso Nwoko, Others In Police Custody Over Alleged Murder


The Magistrate Court sitting in Issele-Uku Magisterial District, Aniocha North local government area of Delta State, today, 29th July, 2020, ordered the remand of Prince Chukwunonso Justin Nwoko a.k.a Obi Nonso in police custody over alleged murder, pending the determination of the case at the next Court sitting.

Presiding over the case, Chief Magistrate F. Obonodo in his ruling, denied the suspects any bail application and ordered that they be remanded in police detention facility.


The Delta State Police Command (Homicide Section) had charged the Idumuje-Ugboko Prince to court after concluding their investigations on his involvement in the murder and unlawful disposal of the bodies of a motor cycle rider, Cyprian Kumaoro and another, Iloh Kennedy during the 2017 intra-communal violence allegedly instigated by Prince Nonso Nwoko.

Prince Nonso was charged alongside other suspects; Chetachukwu Okolo, Onyeisi Isuzor, Ifejoku Okey, Prince Ejimofor Nwoko and Prince Obiajulu Richard Nwoko for murder and criminal conspiracy, punishable under Section 324 of the Criminal Code Law Cap C.21 Vol.1 Laws of Delta State of Nigeria, 2007.


Recall that Prince Nonso Nwoko was arrested by a team of police men on July 17, 2020 and released on self recognition on July 18, 2020. He was later invited for further questioning over the murder of Cyprian Kumaoro and Iloh Kennedy following confessions of two suspects earlier arrested and charged on the same matter.

The Police Commissioner in Delta, CP Hafiz Mohammed Inuwa had in his briefing to the press, stated that nobody was above the law and anyone who had committed a crime as serious as murder would face justice.


However, the Magistrate in his ruling ordered that Prince Nonso Nwoko and others be remanded at the Police Command's detention facility as the Prisons were not holding inmates due to Covid-19 pandemic.

The commencement of court trial of Prince Nonso among others marked the end of rigorous investigations on the celebrated case of murder at Idumuje-Ugboko kingdom in May 2017.
