An Edo State High Court has remanded former
Secretary to the Edo State Government and three other SUBEB officials in prison
over allegations of financial recklessness to the tune of N113 million during
their term in office. The former SSG,
Simon Imuekemhe, former Chairman of the Edo State Universal Basic Education
Board, Joseph Emoabino, the former.......
secretary, David Igbiniba and Director of
Finance and Accounts, Aghator Efe were arraigned in court on an eight count
charge of corrupt practices and other related offences, contrary to section 22
(5) of the EFCC Act 2000.
Counsel to the
defendant prayed the judge to uphold the administrative bail granted by the
EFCC to the defendant. However, the prosecuting counsel, Larry Peter Aso, asked
the court, if it decides to grant bail, to stipulate the conditions of the bail
as all previous arrangements had elapsed.
The
trial judge, Razaq Isenalume ordered that all accused persons be remanded in
prison pending the hearing of bail application and adjourned the case to March
14, 2014.
