Court Remands Imo Woman Over Alleged Attempted Murder of Five-Year-Old Girl as Magistrate Orders DPP Review
An Owerri Chief Magistrate Court in Imo State has ordered the remand of Mrs. Juliet Igwe at the Owerri Correctional Centre over allegations of attempted murder and grievous harm against a five-year-old girl, Onyinyechi. The charge, filed by the Imo State Police Command, stems from an incident said to have occurred on November 25, during which the child sustained severe physical injuries and was allegedly left in critical condition for days. Magistrate B. U. Adikibe ruled that the court lacked jurisdiction because the offence carries a possible life sentence, directing that the case file be transferred to the Director of Public Prosecutions for legal advice. The case gained public attention following the intervention of the Stand For Humanity Foundation, which rescued the child, facilitated the suspect’s arrest, and ensured medical treatment for the victim.
