The court also restrained the Nigerian Police from re-arresting and taking to Abuja, any defendant already standing trial in the murder case of Angbasim.

The court presided over by Justice Sika Aprioku commended the prosecution team of Nigerian Police and Rivers State Department of Public Prosecution led by C.F Amadi for insisting that only persons, whose case had been established in the file could be tried after amending the charges.

The judge while frowned at a situation where some defendants in the murder case were already facing counts of murder of Angbasim in Abuja despite the main case file already in Rivers State High Court.
