Aluu 4: Court admits YouTube video evidence is authentic

A Rivers State High Court, sitting in Port Harcourt, has said that the downloaded YouTube video evidence, showing the brutal killing of the four Uniport students was authentic. He said that the video was relevant as an exhibit in the ongoing trail of those accused to have participated principally in the murder of the young men last year at Omoukiri-Aluu.

Trial judge, Justice Latan Nyordee, had yanked off the appeal of the defense counsel who had argued that the video evidence did not emanate from an original source. The judge had admitted that irrespective of the source, the video goes to prove a point as far as the case was concerned.

The YouTube video evidence has since been tendered by the prosecution counsel as a key evidence in the case.

Recall that four Uniport students, namely; Ugonna, Llyod, Chidiaka, and Tekenna were brutally murdered at Omuokiri-Alu, a community near Port Harcourt city.
Since the incident, about 12 people have been arrested in connection with the murder, including the community chief who was granted bail last week alongside 2 others. They were said not to have participated directly in the murder.
