I just dey look you, Evelyn. Na me you dey use shine abi?


The former Jigawa State Governor, his two sons and others prosecuted with them were  driven to the court on a Toyota Hiace bus with the registration number, PS584 A. A Federal High  Court sitting in Kano on Thursday discarded the bail request thereby remanding Alhaji Sule and his sons in Prison. .
The accused were arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in court presided by Justice Evelyn Anyadike on a 28 counts charge of N13.51bn fraud charge.
The request by the accused Counsel, Offiong Offiong (SAN) to hear his clients  bail application was turned down as the Judge ordered the accused persons to remain in Kano State Prison till September 28- date for their next hearing.
This means that the Former Governor, his Sons and all those involved will spend the rest of the Ramadan and even  the Sallah Celebration in Prison.
The accused persons are, Bamania Holdings Limited, Bamania Aluminum Limited, Bamania Company Nigeria Limited and Speeds International Limited
I know you go dey wonder why Kano State Prison. Anyways, EFCC prosecuting Counsel requested they should be stay there citing or siting (i no be lawyer kwa)  that there facility in Abuja and Kano are filled up.
It will be recalled that accused was arrested on Tuesday on  the grounds that the former Governor awarded contracts to those companies he and his sons had interest in while on sit (2007-2015)
