However, the Magistrate, Mr Vincent Kor, did not take the plea of the defendant for want of jurisdiction.

Kor adjourned the matter until April 11 for further mention.

Earlier, the Prosecutor, Sgt. Jonah Uletu, told the court that the case was received at the state CID, Makurdi, from the Divisional Police Headquarters, Guma, on March 3.
