Rivers House Leader Pleads Not Guilty To 6-Count Charge

The Majority Leader of the Rivers House of Assembly, Mr. Chidi Lloyd, has pleaded not guilty to the six-count charge levelled against him.

Mr. Lloyd was on Tuesday arraigned before a Port Harcourt High Court
on a six-count charge of attempted murder, conspiracy, wounding, assault, and malicious damage.

The Judge, Justice Latan Nyordee, said the plea of the accused could be taken on the ground that he had been properly arraigned before court.


Nyordee said that the earlier oral announcement of the Attorney-General of the state, Mr Nwogu Boms, taking over the case was premature.

“Now that the accused is properly arraigned, he could take his plea,” he said.
