The Magistrate Court sitting in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State on Thursday remanded the Publicity Secretary of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Nwoba Chika

Nwoba in police custody for allegedly publishing materials against the member representing Ezza/Ikwo federal constituency, Chinedu Oga on Facebook.

Nwoba was alleged to have published materials on his Facebook handle against Governor Dave Umahi, Chinedu Ogah which the police said was punishable under section 516 A of the Criminal Code Cap 33 Vol. 1 Laws of the state, 2009 and Section 5 of the state Cybercrimes Law No.012 of 2021. Nkwegu argued that the Cybercrimes Prohibition Law of the state upon which Nwoba was being tried, was not gazetted and that ungazetted law was not a law and prayed the court to grant the defendant bail.
