A Magistrate Court in Makurdi has ordered the remand of Mr. Haakyav Tombu Peter, also known as OrDubuDeli, at the Makurdi Correctional Facility over allegations of terrorism and robbery.
Peter had initially approached the Benue State Commissioner of Police, claiming he was attacked at Judges’ Quarters in Makurdi on Sunday, during which his mobile phone was stolen. The situation escalated when a counter-petition was filed at the state police headquarters, accusing him of leading an assault on the residence of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) in Makurdi, allegedly with unidentified accomplices.
After his arrest, Peter was arraigned before the court. The magistrate denied him bail due to the serious nature of the allegations and ordered his remand in custody. His lawyers have filed a bail application, which is scheduled for hearing tomorrow. The case has attracted significant public attention, with many closely following developments.
