Murder of Enugu Nurse: Court acquits, discharges suspects

An Enugu State High Court, on Thursday, acquitted three suspects arraigned before it over the murder of the head of nursing services at the Federal Neuropshytric Hospital Enugu, late Dr. Mrs. Maria Amadi.

Recall that three of the deceased’s colleagues were arrested and docked before the court presided over by the Chief Judge of Enugu State, Justice Priscilla Emehelu.

They have been in the custody of the Nigeria Correctional Service for over two years.

The suspects included Mr. Afam Ndu, Mrs. Buzo Maduka and Mrs. Stella Achalla.

But delivering its judgement, the court held that there is no evidence linking the suspects to the murder.

The judge acquitted and discharged them on all counts.
