The EFCC is this morning arraigning former governor of Ogun state, Otunba Gbenga Daniel before Justice Olarenwaju Mabekoje at Court 4, State High Court.

Gbenga Daniel who came into the court at 9:08 am, quickly excused himself to the toilet. Proceedings resumed upon his return at 9:20am and Counsel to the EFCC, Rotimi Jacobs, SAN, read out the prosecution's charges.

The Court's attention was then drawn to a notice which was confirmed to have been received by Counsel to Daniel. However, the Counsel sought for a further 30 minutes break to study the document which the Judge agreed to.

Meanwhile, outside the court premises, supporters of Gbenga Daniel and students drawn from several tertiary institutions have been engaging each other in war of words, with both parties chanting opposing messages - for and against Daniel - at each other.

The Court has adjourned till October 15 when it will hear the bail application against Gbenga Daniel. He is to be remanded in EFCC custody until then.

When the issue of remanding him in custody was mentioned, Prosecuting counsel sought to get clarification from Daniel's counsel if he was averse to him being remanded further in the custory of the EFCC, especially following statements earlier credited to him, claiming that his client had suffered abuse at the hands of the Commission's operatives and that he was presently on hunger strike.

However, counsel to Daniel said he had no objection to his client remaining in EFCC custody despite the earlier claims.
