The 2019 Nigeria’s Presidential hopeful, Alhaji Dr. Sule
Lamido has been remanded in prison by the Jigawa State Chief Magistrate Court on Tuesday till May 4, for alleged incitement.
The immediate past governor of the state was refused bail by
Chief Magistrate Muhammad Lamin who instead adjourned the case till May 4, for
the continuation.
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 in Kano on Sunday for the
offences.
