as “United”), Charles Anayor (also known as “Biggie”), and Nelson Isaiah, are

neighboring communities.
The accused pleaded not guilty to the charges when they were
read in court.
No bail application was made, and the presiding judge, Justice Augusta Kingsley-Chukwu, ordered their remand in Port Harcourt Correctional Facility.
