The absence of Justice Effreti Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, Warri, Delta State, Thursday, stalled the arraignment of Delta traditional ruler HRH Oghenekevwe Kumane on alleged terrorism charges leading to the death of not less than 3 persons and willful destruction of over fourteen houses within Evwreni kingdom.

Oghenekevwe Kumane, Ovie of Evwreni Kingdom in Ughelli North local government area of Delta state, one Atiri Stephen and Kelly Omojugheri were billed to be arraigned on amended 9-count charges with suit No: FHC/WR/95C/2020, which included alleged terrorism and murder.

According to Advocate newspaper, an online news portal, the monarch has been evading court appearance in a case before Hon. Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, Warri, and that at the last adjournment, his lawyer promised to produce him in court to face his charges, hence he was brought on Thursday, however, the court failed to hear the case.

Recall that the other two accused persons, Atiri Stephen and Kelly Omojughere have been reminded at the Correctional Center Warri, but the absense of the monarch made it impossible for the court to take their plea when they were brought to the court severally.

The 9-count charge reads in part:

Count 1:
“That you, HRH Oghenekevwe Kumane, male, (42 years old) of Abete Street, Evwreni Kingdom Ughelli North LGA, Delta State, Atiri Stephen male, (47 years old) of Edjeba Street, Evwreni Kingdom Ughelli North LGA, Delta State, and Kelly Omojughere Kumane, male, (32 years old) of Amekpa Street, Ughelli, Ughelli North LGA, Delta State, sometime in March 2020 within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court did commit an offence to wit: criminal conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism and he thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 17 of the Terrorism Prevention (Amendment) Act 2013 and punishable under the same section of the Act.”
