A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has ordered the remand of Senator Peter Nwaoboshi of Delta state to Ikoyi Prison.

This development follows the arraignment of the senator by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over allegations of fraud.

Nwaoboshi who represents Delta North district at the National Assembly, was arraigned by the anti-graft agency on Wednesday on two counts of fraud.

PoliticsNGR learnt that the Presiding judge, Justice Mohammed Idris ordered that the lawmaker be remanded in prison till Friday when a ruling would be given on whether or not to admit him to bail.

Counsel to Senator Nwaboshi had asked the court to grant his client bail on self-recognisance, but the EFCC opposed the bail application; informing the court that there were still pending charges against the lawmaker.

Well what can I say everybody is experiencing change

This is what happens in a forward country, let's hope he won't break out like Dino.

This is serious....

Nigerian senators....na to dey hide your faces now o

A country fill of drama

Oya leggo...d little wey remain make dis administration finish.... na American Film go dey happen

May God bless Buhari for all these sincere corruption fight and May Allah reward him with second term so he can take us to the promise land

Q

in short let him be tied like a goat if he's found guilty!!!
i don't know why we youth support jungle justice for the common thief and support all diz lawmakers

The clampdown has finally began. Lala is next

They are dealing with all those loyal to Saraki. The road to the 2019 presidential election will be interesting.

Nigerians don't be deceived. Politicians are now using bloodshed as a campaign tool. Though Buhari is too old to be our president now but we must be careful else we will end up electing those killing our people to discredit this government. I don't believe Buhari is behind the killings to give his regime a bad name. We must rise up to say no to politics of bloodshed

Pending charges shouldn't be a ground for opposing a bail application. I mean Bail isn't discharge or acquittal. Unless recourse was being made to the political undertones, that application ought to have been granted immediately without having the to remand the Senator in Prison custody till Friday.

Justice should be done on every criminal matter no matter who is involved . Honorable men should live up to their names..If the man has no case to answer nobody would have arrested him

The senate is populated by a lot of criminals, our case is unfortunate

Going forward this Sinator should be known as Ex-convict and is not worthy of entering the hallowed chambers!!!

This is how a country should be running, prison is not only for the poor.

All the SINators that went with him should also follow him to prison oo

Its a welcome development

I saw this coming, kudos to FG, we want more

What I see in all this brouhaha is that,I think buhari is not running anymore, maybe that's why he decide to deal with many corrupt politicians, especially those looters (senators), he want to use the remaining months to deal with many politicians and later announced his intention not to run again in dying minutes,... Another politicians will be drag to mold in coming days.

Can I hear a sound clap? A sound clap? Another one? Here, the zoo falls. Jubrin, you see your life? Thanks Jubrin, #unmaskbuhariDNAtest. You came, a) renovated aso office, b) wearing black glasses, c) ear broader, d) smiles alot, e) Aisha stays away, f) killings increased, g) atiku came out, h) military became unpredicting, etc...

Arrest who needs to be arrest so that Nigerian will be a better place!! Abegg

Nigeria is moving forward. no room for impunity in this government. gone are the days when some set of people r above the law, only for the poor masses to be the object of the law. sai Baba till 2023

Good!

hmmmmm let the prisoners they increase everyday now

W

Media war
The guy will still DEFEAT EFCC in court

Hunters...

The purpose of remanding suspect is to prevent them from fleeing,
when it is certain that a suspect can't flee, remanding them is foolish,
no wonder 70% of Nigerian inmates are awaiting trial when they should be coming from home.
