 A Mother's Day Nightmare in Princeton, Illinois. A 3-year-old boy was struck by gunfire as police burst into a barricaded room, ending a frightening hostage situation. Multiple agencies responded to the Hummingbird Mobile Home Park in Princeton, Illinois, on Sunday, May 10th at 2:42 a.m. The initial call went out as a domestic disturbance but officers discovered much worse.  42-year-old, Anthony Rodriguez, had barricaded himself in a room armed with a knife. Anthony had taken several people as hostages, including Aurora Almanza and her 3-year-old son.  Multiple agencies were on the scene, including the Bureau County Sheriff's Office, Illinois State Police and  the Princeton Police Department.  Authorities attempted to negotiate but ultimately rushed the room when they heard screaming coming from inside.  Officials have reported that officers fired shots as they entered the room.

COURT ORDERS DSS TO RELEASE OCHE, GAJIR, BENUE LG CHAIRMEN


7th July, 2023    

The Federal High Court in Makurdi has issued an order directing the Department of State Security Service (DSS) to release the four local government chairmen who have been detained in Benue State. The Presiding Judge, Justice Abdu Dogo, granted the order while ruling on an ex-parte application brought by counsel to the chairmen, Joseph Oche.

Veronica Gajir (Ushongo), Alfred Atera (Katsina-ala), James Oche (Ado), and Mike Usah (Guma) have been in detention since responding to an invitation from the DSS earlier this week, with the reasons for their detention yet to be disclosed.

As per the court’s order, the chairmen are to be released on bail effective immediately. Failure to comply with the order would require the DSS to present justifiable cause on Monday, July 10th, 2023. However, the chairmen will not be released pending the application for the enforcement of their fundamental human rights.

Justice Dogo also directed that the Motion Exparte, along with the supporting affidavit and written address, be served on the DSS on July 7th, 2023. The court granted the DSS until 12 noon on Monday, July 10th, 2023, to file and serve their response or counter affidavit opposing the release of the chairmen on bail.

The court’s hearing on Monday, July 10th, 2023, at 2 pm will serve as an opportunity for the DSS to present justifiable reasons why the four local government chairmen should not be granted bail.

The prolonged detention of the four local government chairmen without trial in court has generated widespread condemnation from analysts within and outside Benue State. This court order brings hope for the release of the chairmen and the potential resolution of their legal situation.
