B-R-E-A-K-I-N-G News! Judge Sends Lagos Speaker To Prison. Gives Him 48 Hours to Pay N1 billion bail bond.
Justice Ibrahim Buba of the Federal High Court, Lagos, has refused granting bail to the Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, on self recognition, instead slamming a N1 billion bail on him.
The judge ordered Mr. Ikuforiji to meet the bail condition within 48 hours or be held in prison pending the determination of the corruption case against him.
Mr. Ikuforiji was re-arraigned for alleged money laundering offence totalling over N500 Million in 14 Months, alongside his aide, Oyebode Atoyebi, before Mr. Buba; after the former judge, Okechukwu Okeke, retired from the bench.
