A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered
that former Governor of Adamawa State,
Adamu Umaru Fintiri be remanded in Kuje
prison, Abuja. Fintiri was sworn in as acting
governor of the state following the
impeachment of the former state governor
Murtalla Nyako on July 15th 2014.
His remand order was made by Justice
Ahmed Mohammed shortly after he was
arraigned on a five-count charge of N1billion
money laundering. When the charges were
read to him, he pleaded not guilty. He’s to
remain in prison custody until Friday when the
court will rule of his bail application
