EX GOVERNOR SULE LAMIDO REMANDED IN PRISON CUSTODY AMIDST PROTESTS

By


Heavily armed policemen on Tuesday in Dutse, Jigawa State capital, fired teargas canisters at a crowd that gathered at the Chief Magistrate Court Two for the arraignment of former governor Sule Lamido, who is being tried for making inciting remarks.

 Counsel for the Jigawa State Government, Ikenna Ekpunobi, insisted that Lamido should not be granted bail until investigation was completed.

 Emphasising that Lamido was charged with disturbing public peace and inciting public disturbance, Ekpunobi argued that the allegations were contrary to the provisions of the Criminal Code of Jigawa State.

 However, Lamido’s counsel, Felix Osimerah, quoting Section 36, sub-section 5 of the 1999 Constitution, argued that Lamido should be presumed innocent even as he stressed that the offences were bailable.

 Furthermore, he submitted that granting Lamido bail would avail him the opportunity to prepare his defence.

 After listening to both the arguments of the defence and the plaintiff, the Chief Magistrate, Usman Laamin, adjourned hearing till Thursday for further hearing.

 Moments after the court proceeding ended, Lamido was driven to Kiyawa prison amidst tight security.

THEME: WANT YOUR PRAYERS ANSWERED?     Memorise:   Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard. Proverb 21:13   Read:  Psalm 22:1-5   1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? 2 O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. 3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. 4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. 5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.     Message:   There was a popular Mexican soap opera on the Nigerian television scene a few years ago titled "The Rich Also Cry".
