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.

I warned Nigerians about Buhari, he has no direction – PDP chieftain, Kaze A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a former member of the House of Representatives Hon Bitrus Kaze has stated that he warned Nigerians against voting for Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 AND SAID Buhari had succeeded in taking Nigeria back to zero level and that it would only take time for the country to recover. Kaze said anyone advising Buhari to run for second term was only being deceptive as the president was unfit to govern the country beyond 2019.  “Before I left the National Assembly,I warned our successors that they will be dealing with somebody who finds legislative institution strange which he has never agreed to deal with and with due respect, I think I am being vindicated". “The President does not seems to agree or believe in anybody,the President does not understand the difficulty his policies if any have put Nigerians into,even though up to this moment, I do n...
