A Magistrates’ Court in Makurdi on Thursday ordered that a 23-year-old mechanic, Terdoo Ahambe, who allegedly killed a housewife during a robbery operation in Gboko, Benue, be remanded in a correction centre.
Magistrate Ajuma Igama did not take the plea of the suspect for want of jurisdiction, NAN reports.

She adjourned the case until Oct. 24 for mention.
Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Sgt. Ato Godwin told the court that the case was reported at the ”B” Division Police Station, Gboko by the complainant, Terhemba Dondove , who lives in RTS Mkar Gboko, Benue on Aug. 28.
