At the resumed hearing on Friday, Chief Magistrate Andrew Jaja also invited the Rivers State Commissioner of Justice and Attorney General, Emma Aguma (SAN)‎ to appear in court and explain why the suspects should not be released unconditionally.
The Chief Magistrate issued the summons after taking arguments from the defence and prosecution lawyers on why the advice of the Director of Public Prosecution was not ready within the stipulated ten days.

The accused person, Emmanuel Nnamani got bail after lawyer to the IPOB, Inalegwu Adoga applied for his release, citing a worsening eye ailment.
Some sixty-five supporters of IPOB were arrested in Port Harcourt on 20th January for taking part in the pro-Trump rally.
