Osono was charged with incitement to violence and disobedience of the law as well as shooting at two journalists.
According to The Standard, the court heard that the suspect discharged a bullet from a revolver in a move aimed at bringing death or physical injury to journalist Raphael Mungem on the 22dn of May 2015.
Osono was further accused of shooting at Barnabas Asiba on the same day with the intention to kill or injure him.
