The prosecution of Mr Farah Dagogo for allegedly sponsoring cultism in Rivers State has taken a new twist, as a State High Court on Friday remanded him in a correctional centre.
He was remanded by the court on Friday, a day after a Federal High Court on Thursday ordered that he should be released on bail.
Justice Nwogu ordered that the governorship aspirant be remanded in a correctional centre because he appeared too weak to take his plea.
In his reaction, Dagogo’s media aide, Ibrahim Lawal, described the lawmaker’s remand as a pre-determine action by the Rivers State government and the police to disobey the order of the Federal High Court which initially granted him bail.
Dagogo was arrested on April 28 in Port Harcourt at the venue of the PDP governorship screening for the South-South states.
