The investigation into the case of two police officers, Gravis Afuga and Allen Noni, is still ongoing.

During a court mention last week, the prosecutor informed the court that police investigators are yet to collect one outstanding statement.

The prosecutor also confirmed that disclosures have been served to the duty defense counsel. However, the two accused officers failed to appear in court. It was suggested that their absence might have been due to confusion over the mention date, which was initially set for February 21 but was unexpectedly moved forward to yesterday.

The court has adjourned the matter to February 17, 2025, for a possible plea. Directions have been issued for the defense counsels to contact Afuga and Noni and update them on the new mention date.

The police were also directed to collect the outstanding statement, and the prosecution must serve full disclosures to the defense.

Officers Gravis Afuga and Allen Noni are jointly charged with bribery, contrary to Section 122(a) of the Penal Code, read with Section 21(a) of the Penal Code.

The charges stem from an investigation into the theft of gold ashes, which began on November 8, 2024.
