A Federal high court sitting in Kano
has ordered that former governor of Jigawa state Sule Lamido and two of his
sons, Aminu and Mustapha be remanded in Kano Prison till September 28th when
their bail application will be heard. The former governor and his sons are
being accused of collecting bribe totaling N1.35 billion from government
contractors when he was governor. Picture above shows the former governor and
his sons arriving court this morning…
At the hearing
today, the presiding judge, Justice Evelyn Anyadike ruled that the former
governor, his sons and one of his aides, Aminu Mustapha be kept in Kano prison
despite a plea from their counsel that they should be transferred to the EFCC
cell in Abuja or Kano. EFCC counsel had objected to this, claiming that the
cells in both Kano and Abuja are full to capacity.
