Immediate past
governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, was on Tuesday morning docked for
allegedly inciting his supporters to violence.
Lamido was
docked on a four-count charge at a court in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital.
The Peoples
Democratic Party leader is accused of inciting his supporters to violence in
the build up to local government elections set to hold in Jigawa on July 1.
He has been in
police custody in Kano since Sunday morning following a petition by Jigawa
govt. The former governor was taken from Kano to Jigawa on Tuesday morning for
trial.
On Monday, the
PDP faction led by Ahmed Makarfi demanded Mr. Lamido’s release and accused the
ruling APC of witch-hunt. They are not bother about the inciting statement he
allegedly made.
