A Jigawa
Chief Magistrate Court on Tuesday remanded the immediate past governor of the
state, Alhaji Sule Lamido, in prison till May 4, for alleged incitement.
Chief
Magistrate Muhammad Lamin refused the accused bail and adjourned the case till
May 4, for the continuation of the case.
Lamido is
standing trial on a four-count charge of inciting public disturbance,
defamation of character, criminal intimidation and disturbance of public peace.
The offences
contravened sections 113, 114, 392 and 394 of the Penal Code. His counsel
Yakubu Ruba and Felix Jones said that the offences were bailable and wondered
why the court did not grant the accused bail. Lamido was arrested by the police
