Two suspects remanded in prison for attacking high court in Bayelsa

The Bayelsa State Police Command says it has remanded two suspects, Promise Ogilogi and Azibabin Adiki, in prison custody for their involvement in the invasion of the Bayelsa State High court and attack on the High court judge.

The police in a statement issued by the command’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Asinim Butswat, said that the suspects were arrested on 13 April 2022, shortly after they disrupted court proceedings by attacking the Judge and causing a stampede in the courtroom.

The statement further read “the Commissioner of Police Bayelsa State Command, Ben Nebolisa Okolo, has charged Police operatives to intensify efforts to arrest the fleeing suspects and warn unequivocally, that the command is poised to deal decisively with anyone or group of persons who hide under any guise to disrupt the existing peace in the State.

“The Command hereby assures members of the public, particularly the Judiciary that adequate security measures have been put in place, to ensure the safety and sanctity of the courtroom and to forestall future occurrence.”
