JUST IN: Court Sends Powerful Nigerian Politician To Prison (PHOTO)
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Bwari Area Council of Abuja remanded a factional leader of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Edozie Njoku, and one Chukwuemeka Nwoga in prison on Monday for alleged forgery.
Recall that the police had previously accused Njoku and Nwoga of forging a Supreme Court letter that reinstated them as APGA’s national chairman and national youth leader in place of Chief Victor Oye.
Last week, Justice Mohammed Madugu issued a bench warrant for the duo’s arrest for failing to appear in court.

Panam Ntui, the defense lawyer, argued their bail application shortly after they pleaded not guilty to a 14-count charge filed in the name of the Inspector General of Police (IGP).
However, at the rescheduled hearing, the court vacated the bench warrant and upheld the prosecution counsel’s opposition to the defence lawyer’s bail application.
In a ruling issued on Monday, Justice Mohammed Magudu ordered Njoku and his co-defendant, Chukwuemeka Nwoga, to be remanded in the Suleja Correctional Centre in Niger State until he rules on their bail application on November 30th.
