The Port Harcourt Chief Magistrate Court also ordered the convicts to pay fines.

Meanwhile, 33 other persons who pleaded not guilty to the same charges have been remanded at the Rivers State Isolation Centre to undergo screening for Coronavirus pending the consideration of their bail applications and trial.
