A High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, has adjourned to July 31, to deliver judgement in the murder of four students of the University of Port Harcourt.
The trial Judge, Justice Ledan Nyordee, who fixed the date, yesterday, said that he was ready with the judgement but that he was sick.
Our source reported that lawyers, reporters and other groups had besieged the courtroom waiting for the judgement only to be informed that the court would not sit.
It would be recalled that 12 people, including a Police Sergeant have been facing trial since December 20, 2012 over the alleged murder of the students.
However, five out of the 12 suspects, including a traditional ruler in Aluu community had been discharged.
The four murdered students are Ugonna Obuzor, Toku Lloyd, Chiadika Biringa and Tekena Elkanah.
Security was tight at the court premises in anticipation of the judgement.
The murder was allegedly committed on October 5, 2012 in Aluu community in Obio/Apkor Local Government Area of the State.
