It was also reported that the commissioner’s driver was reportedly injured in the attack which created panic among residents of the area.

He was also charged with an intent to cause grievous harm to the commissioner’s driver, Tuesday Ebikapade, while trying to prevent him from attacking the commissioner’s home last Sunday in Asaba.

In a motion by the state’s commissioner of police, the prosecutor, F. O. Itua, prayed the court to remand Omoun in prison custody since the court lacked the jurisdiction to adjudicate on the case.

The presiding magistrate, V. O. Okonta, granted the prosecutor’s request despite objection from the defence counsel and ordered that Omoun be remanded in the Ogwashi-Ukwu correctional facility till December 30 for the determination of his bail application.
