BREAKING! Court Remands Delta Senator In Ikoyi Prison
A Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday remanded a People’s Democratic Party’s Senator, Peter Nwaoboshi, in Ikoyi Prison pending ruling on his bail application.
He is to remain behind bars until April 27, the court ruled.
Nwaoboshi was charged to court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over multiple offences.
The senator representing Delta North was arraigned on two counts of money laundering and fraud alongside two
companies — Golden Touch Construction Project Ltd and Suiming Electrical Ltd.
He had entered a plea of ‘not guilty’.
Arguing his bail application before the court, the defence counsel, Dr V. J. O. Azinge (SAN), urged the court to grant the accused bail on self-recognizance as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
