A Port Harcourt High Court has adjourned to July 31,  judgment in the murder of four students of the University of Port Harcourt popularly called Aluu4.

The four murdered students are: Ugonna Obuzor, Toku Lioyd, Chiadika Biringa and Tekena Elkanah.

Judgment in the matter was earlier fixed for Thursday but the trial Judge, Justice Letam Nyordee said that he was ready with the judgment but that he was sick and postponed the judgment.

Lawyers, reporters and other groups had besieged the courtroom waiting for the judgment, only to be informed the development.

It will be recalled that 12 people including a police sergeant, have been facing trial since December 20, 2012 over the alleged murder of the students.

However, five out of the 12 suspects, including a traditional ruler in Aluu community have been discharged.

The murder was allegedly committed on Oct. 5, 2012 in Aluu community in the Obio-Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State.
