LACON DEFENDING THE DEFENCELESS IN EBONYI STATE.
In State vs. Ani Chukwudi, the defendant was arraigned at the Magistrates Court in 2021 for the alleged offence of armed robbery. Information was eventually filed in 2022 and assigned to High Court 5, Abakaliki. After a couple of adjournments due to lack of legal representation for the Defendant, the Court referred the matter to LACON in 2023. The Defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge. The Prosecution was unable to field any witness after series of adjournments at their instance.
The charge was eventually struck out for want of diligent prosecution and the Defendant discharged.
