The House of Representatives member has been in police custody since 28 April after he was arrested by security operatives at the venue of the PDP governorship screening in Port Harcourt.

He was accused of sponsoring cultists to disrupt the screening of House of Assembly aspirants at the state party’s secretariat.

Dagogo was absent during the hearing of his matter on Monday at the Magistrate court and no reason was given for his absence.
