Court revokes bail, ordered accused remanded in custody<\/em><\/strong>
Lagos \u2013 The Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos, on Tuesday, fixed Oct. 27 for the hearing of\u00a0 the main appeal filed by business mogul,\u00a0 Alhaji Aliko Dangote,\u00a0 against a judgment of the Federal High Court.<\/p>\n

Justice Lambo Akanbi of the Federal High Court, Lagos, had declared as void the election of Dangote as the President of the Nigerian Stock Exchange.<\/p>\n

Akanbi had in his ruling held that the election held on Aug. 6, 2010 was unlawful.<\/p>\n

He said that it was in violation of an order of the court which directed that the status quo be maintained pending the determination of some pending applications.<\/p>\n

The judge had said that the decision to declare the election void was informed by the need to safeguard the integrity of the court.<\/p>\n

The ruling was sequel to an application filed by some shareholders of the African Petroleum challenging the legitimacy of the election which was held despite the court\u2019s order.<\/p>\n

At the resumed hearing of the case, the court refused to entertain a motion filed by the appellant seeking for an order for the stay of proceedings in the lower court.<\/p>\n

Court revokes bail, ordered accused remanded in custody<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Also\u00a0 An Abuja Senior Magistrates\u2019 Court, sitting in Karu on Wednesday revoked the bail granted to a security guard, for refusing to appear in court for his trial.<\/p>\n

The accused, Ezekiel Dogora, was also ordered to be remanded in prison custody.<\/p>\n

Police Prosecutor, Sgt. Steven Imogha told the court that the accused with one Benson Garba were both charged for an alleged offence of joint act and house-breaking.<\/p>\n

Imogha said the accused on Aug.17, 2010 formed common intention and broke through the burglary window of House 92, Prince and Princess Estate belonging to one Kayode Oduan.<\/p>\n

He told the court that the accused stole 48 inches flat television screen, DVD player, multimedia sound system and four Hifi speakers.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0 accused had been standing trial for the alleged offence since 2010.<\/p>\n

Also it was learnt that the accused pleaded not guilty before the court and was granted bail in the sum of N50,000 with a reasonable surety in like sum.<\/p>\n

However, when the case came up for hearing, the prosecutor told the court that Dogora was issued a bench warrant on March 1 but had since not appeared for his trial.<\/p>\n

Senior Magistrate Celestine Oba, however, said that Dogora had not appeared before the court for three consecutive times until a bench warrant was issued against him.<\/p>\n

Odo said he had also not shown the court any genuine reason why he should absent himself for trail.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bail of the accused is, therefore, revoked and he should be transferred to prison custody for failure to appear before the court,\u2019\u2019 Odo ordered.<\/p>\n

The case was adjourned till June 13 for continuation of hearing. (NAN)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
