A Family Court sitting in Ughelli Community, Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, has struck out a fabricated case against three children of the same parents who were arrested by the police. The court struck out the case on Friday, May 14, DAILY POST learnt.
A former Chairman of the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR), Comrade (Elder) Amrevuahwo Edariese, disclosed this to our correspondent in Warri on Sunday.
He said the court struck out the case against the three children, who are within the ages of twelve (12) and seven (7) respectively, because the case was “fabricated”, pointing out that the police, who brought the case before the court without a petition written by anyone, just “cooked up the story” and alleged the children to be cultists.
According to him, neither the police nor any complainant showed up in court when the case was mentioned. He noted that the case was transferred from the Magistrate Court sitting in Orhuwhorhun Magisterial District in Udu Local Government Area to the Family Court sitting in Ughelli Judicial Division.
It was learnt that the police had earlier, in a case between the Commissioner of Police and the three children, namely Senior Sargin ‘M’, aged 12 years, Believe Sargin ‘M’, aged 12 years, and Precious Sargin ‘F’, aged 7 years, in Charge No. MCOR/2C/2026, arraigned them before a Magistrate Court presided over by His Worship O.A.
