Hearing was yesterday stalled, in the murder of a nine-year-old girl, EEDEBARI LETTICIA GONIS KOGBARA, at the Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt.
The defence counsel was expected to cross- examine the father of the victim, GONIS KOGBARA but due to the volume of cases, the trail judge adjourned the matter to 4th of December for continuation of cross examination.
Recall that one EEDETOMBARI TAOU is on trial before Justice M. OPARA for alleged rape and killing of the 9 years old KOGBARA in Khana Local Government Area in rivers state on the 3RD of November last year.
Meanwhile lawyers to the victim and chairperson of FIDA Ngozi Ighosebve expressed hope that the trails will be speedy since the suspects has made willful useful confession which could aid the court. She expressed joy over the co-operation of the prosecution council who she said did a thorough investigation which promoted the suspects to confessing to the crime.
She said ‘’we are grateful to the Nigeria police for wading into the matter and responding appropriately. I believe the religious background of the suspect made him to willfully confess to his crimes upon arrest. We also believe that the DPP will do justice to the matter when the matter is referred to them.
