The Edo State Criminal High Court sitting in Benin and presided over by Justice A. N. Erhabor has adjourned hearing in a case involving allegations of conspiracy, attempted murder, arson, and malicious damage between the Commissioner of Police and the defendants, Ahunmwan Osaro and Odaro Oviarobo to May 8, 2025.

The case, is marked suit number B63/C/25.

During the court sitting, Rose Igbinakenzua, a representative of the prosecution, informed the court that the charge sheet had not yet been served on the relevant parties.

There was however no legal representation present for the defendants.

As a result, Justice Erhabor adjourned the matter to 8 May 2025 for proper service and continuation of hearing.

The charges stem from an incident on January 1,2025, in the Iguosa area on Benin – Lagos Road, where Ahunmwan Osaro allegedly set his estranged wife, Tina Uyi, ablaze at her residence.
