Court Grants House Of Reps Member Ikwechegh N500,000 Bail

The court has granted House of Reps member Ikwechegh N500,000 bail.

 

Glamtush reports that Kuje Magistrate Court has granted bail to embattled House of Representatives member Alex Ikwechegh, in the sum of N500,000.

This online news platform recalls that Ikwechegh, representing Aba North and South, was arraigned for allegedly assaulting a Bolt driver, Stephen Abuwatseya, outside his Abuja residence.

The charge against the defendant bordered on abuse of office, assault, and threat to life.

In his ruling on Wednesday, Magistrate Abubakar Umar Sai’id held that he was minded to accede to the defendant’s application for bail.

Consequently, he granted the lawmaker bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties in the like sum.

The court stressed that the sureties must not only reside within its jurisdiction but also provide their utility bills as proof of residence.

It subsequently adjourned the matter to November 8 for trial.
