Counsel to the police, Cyril Ajiofor informed Magistrate Adeola Adedayo, who had last month remanded the two suspects in prison custody for 30 days pending the release of legal advice on the matter by the state’s Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).
Tendering the legal advice to the court yesterday, Ajiofor also told the court that a prima facie case of stealing was also established against Chidinma alone.
He also informed the court that the DPP also established the offence of having possession of a stolen item against Chidinma’s sister Chioma Egbuchu, from whom the deceased’s iPhone 7, was said to have been recovered.
Ejiofor, however, disclosed that Chidinma’s father Onoh Ojukwu, Babalola Disu, Abayomi Olutayo, and Ifeoluwa Olowu, who were earlier indicted in the matter had been cleared by the report.
