An Uyo state High Court has charged troubled Nollywood actor, Moses Armstrong with rape, conspiracy, intimidation and supplying of drugs to procure abortion.
This was revealed by defence counsel, Emmanuel Pantaleon who spoke to Premium Times on Wednesday saying the four charges were read to Moses for the first time since he was first arrested on June 13.
The prosecution, I.U. Robert, an assistant state counsel, while opposing bail application, cited relevant judicial authorities and urged the court to dismiss the application which he described as an “abuse of court process.”
