A Magistrate Court sitting in Port Harcourt has granted bail to the Chairman of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, Rivers State, Mr Chijioke Ihunwo, and 120 other defendants who are in court for allegedly invading the residence of the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Martins Amaehwule, N100,000 bail.

The court also granted bail to the State Legal Adviser of NYCN, Chigozie Emem, on self-recognition as a lawyer.

Ihunwo and 121 others were arrested in Port Harcourt and detained in the facility of the State Criminal Investigation Department, for attacking the residence of Amaehwule, during their protest against the move to impeach the governor of the state, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, by some lawmakers in the Rivers State House of Assembly.

However, when the court resumed hearing, the defendants pleaded not guilty to all the five charges preferred against them.
