One of the
four persons charged with the abduction of Mike Ozekhome (SAN) in 2013
yesterday told a Federal High Court in Abuja that his statement
indicting former Delta governor James Ibori was obtained under duress.
Kelvin Oniarah Ezeigbe stated that following his arrest by the Department of State Services (DSS) along with his gang members on September 25, 2013, he was forced to re-copy a handwritten statement confessing that they are working for the political interest of the former governor.
He said the department used various weapons such as cutlasses, cables, and pliers to effect bodily injuries on him.
Kelvin was arraigned along with Frank Azuekor, Michael Omonigho and Momoh Haruna on 13 count charges bordering on conspiracy, armed robbery, kidnapping and acts of terrorism in 2013.
Justice Adeniyi Ademola has adjourned the case to February 25 for hearing
