According to the News Agency of Nigeria Nyia, 60, was arraigned before an Enugu South Magistrates Court presided over by Mr A. P. C. Amalu on four count charges, allegedly committed with others at large in November, 2014.
He was said to have also unlawfully detained one Chinaza Agah against her will and, thereby, committed an offence punishable under Sect. 365 of the Criminal Code Act. He said the law was a creation of the National Assembly adding that the body had no constitutional powers to make laws for an offence applicable to Enugu state.
He said“The powers to enact general criminal laws are incidental which is not applicable here. These offences are under the legislative powers of the state assembly.” Ogbu, however, applied for the bail of his client should the court find no valid reason to quash the charges.
