The moment officers tried to take suspects convicted for child theft to prison in Rivers
There was a mild drama at the Magistrate Court, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, following the refusal of two female defendants, Ada Ebere and Favour Godwin, to be taken to prison.
The defendants were sentenced to 10 years and 15 years imprisonment respectively for conspiracy, stealing, and child trafficking
Immediately after Chief Magistrate Felicitas Amanze pronounced their sentences that the ladies were guilty of all three charges, two of the women burst into tears and started rolling on the floor of the court while refusing to follow the two female Correctional Center Officers.
It took the combined efforts of officers to pull them off the floor and jointly handcuff them.
