The court adjourned the matter until June 23 to continue the trial.
Responding, defence counsel, E. E. Ekere, said he was unaware of the allegations raised by the prosecution.
Mr Ehie’s lawyer, Oluwole Aladedoye, asked the court to set aside its earlier order issuing an arrest warrant for him because he was not invited for questioning.
The judge had, on January 31, issued a warrant for the arrest of Mr Ehie over his alleged involvement in the burning of part of Rivers Assembly.
Justice Bolaji Olajuwon, in a ruling, held that Mr Ehie, having not been joined as a defendant in the charge, lacked the legal right to make such a plea.
