A Magistrate Court sitting in Port Harcourt has revoked the bail granted to the Paramount Ruler of Kono-Boue community, King Taalor Tornwe in Khana Local Government Area of the Rivers State.
Tornwe was arraigned on the 18th of January on charges bordering on conspiracy and cultism in suit No.91C/2022 before Chief Magistrate A.O. Amadi-Nna.
