A Mobile Court sitting at the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Umuahia, Abia State, has ordered the remand of 40-year-old Ebochue Kingsley Uzoka over his alleged involvement in the murder of Chimaobi Anya Ojo.
Uzoka was arraigned on January 28, 2025, on charges of conspiracy and murder. He, along with others who remain at large, is accused of conspiring to kill Ojo on September 20, 2024, at Nkata Ibeku in Umuahia North.
Chief Magistrate P.N. Lekwa adjourned the case to February 19 and directed that the case file be forwarded to the state Attorney-General for further prosecution.
Ojo, 36, a native of Elu Ohafia in Ohafia Local Government, had returned from Poland in February 2024 to reunite with his newborn daughter and settle his family. His life was tragically cut short just after celebrating his daughter’s first birthday on September 8.
