| Jigawa state former governor and his sons arriving in court this morning... |
Looks like some real action is happening at last with our corrupt leaders.
A Federal high court sitting in Kano has ordered that former governor of Jigawa state Sule Lamido and two of his sons, Aminu and Mustapha be remanded in Kano Prison till September 28th when their bail application will be heard. The former governor and his
sons are being accused of collecting bribe totaling N1.35 billion from government contractors when he was governor.

At the hearing today, the presiding judge, Justice Evelyn Anyadike ruled that the former governor, his sons and one of his aides, Aminu Mustapha be kept in Kano prison despite a plea from their counsel that they should be transferred to the EFCC cell in Abuja or Kano. EFCC counsel had objected to this, claiming that the cells in both Kano and Abuja are full to capacity.
