Autopsy and toxicology results received
According to Awele Ideal, the remand followed a significant development in the investigation.
She disclosed that the autopsy and toxicology test results had been made available to the police investigation team just days before the court hearing, effectively marking the close of the investigative phase of the case.
The lawyer explained that those results, along with other evidence gathered, are part of the investigation report prepared to support the prosecution.
The matter now falls under the authority of the Ministry of Justice, specifically the Attorney General and Director of Public Prosecutions.
In her words:
"Today, 4/9/2026, The application to remand Mr Ifeanyi Ogbonna (Odogwu Asaba) was heard and granted by the Court. He has now been Remanded at the Ogwashi Uku Maximum Correctional Center (Prison), from there he shall be brought to court until the completion of his trial which now lies with the Ministry of Justice (AG and DPP)."
