A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has ordered the remand of two lawyers, Sarah Ajibola and John Demide, following their arraignment for allegedly rigging the August 2018 Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) national elections.
Justice Chuka Obiozor ordered their remand in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The duo are to remain with the anti-graft agency for seven days in order to fulfill their bail terms, failing which they will be transferred to the custody of Nigerian Correctional Services.
In the 14 count charge before the court, the EFCC claimed that Ajibola, and Demide manipulated the election in favour of Mr Paul Usoro SAN, who was elected as the 29th President of the NBA in 2018.
