Three officers of the Federal Road Safety Corps were, on Tuesday, arraigned before an Akwa Ibom State High Court, Itu Division, for their alleged involvement in the burgling of a shop.
It was gathered that the Samsung Exclusive Store at No. 158 Oron Road, Uyo, was burgled sometime in 2016 and the matter was reported to the police.
It was learnt that because of perceived interest in the matter by certain individuals, the case had been with the police for about four years, forcing the Department of Public Prosecutions in the state to take over and charge the suspects.
He argued that the state had the liberty to amend the charge as many times as possible whenever it noticed any deficiency.
The presiding judge, Justice Ntong F. Ntong, adjourned the matter till February 24, 2020, for further mention and hearing. Punch
