Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has granted a N50 million, fifty million naira, bail to His Royal Highness, Eze Cyprian Amadi Worensu, who is facing trial for threatening the lives of retired Justice Adolphus Enebeli and his family.<\/p>\n

Delivering the ruling on the bail application, the trial judge, Justice Mohammed Turaki, specified that the bail was granted with two sureties.<\/p>\n

One surety must be a Director in the Civil Service at level 16, and the other must be a first-class traditional ruler, both of whom must be verified by the Head of Service.<\/p>\n

Justice Turaki also directed the court registrar to verify the residential addresses of both the sureties and the defendant.<\/p>\n

Eze Worensu was initially arraigned before Justice Emmanuel Obele, who denied bail and ordered the defendant to be remanded in Port Harcourt Correctional Facility.<\/p>\n

The case was subsequently transferred to Justice Turaki, who granted bail and adjourned the case until October 16 for trial.<\/p>\n

The charge against the traditional ruler alleges that on March 28, 2023, he sent a threatening message to one Sunday Gift Chinem, which was intended to harass and instil fear in retired Justice Enebeli.<\/p>\n

According to the charge, Eze Worensu threatened to kill retired Justice Enebeli for not ruling in his favour in a chieftaincy suit involving Christopher Wonodi and others, which was decided on March 20, 2023.<\/p>\n

This alleged offence is contrary to Section 24 (B.C) I of the Prohibition Prevention ETC. Act 2015.<\/p>\n
