The five-member panel of judges of the apex court while rejecting the bail request noted that Senator Nwaoboshi’s conduct was a slap on Nigeria’s democracy and the rule of law. The judge pointed out that being a serving senator and the Senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress for Delta North Senatorial District ought to be an assurance that Nwaoboshi is law-abiding and will readily submit to the authority of the law.

If na one Fulani man now, na different story... Just one phone call fit solve their issue

Why is it only Eastern senator go to jail while in service? There's a plot, though, we've warned them.

A particular ethnic group can be easily investigated, trailed and jailed, but a particular ethnic group can be pardoned.

This verbiage construct is erroneous. If he was sentenced to 7 years in prison, how can he be denied bail? Meaning of BAIL - the temporary release of an accused person awaiting trial, sometimes on condition that a sum of money is lodged to guarantee their appearance in court. FFS

Wastage

Jail are for offenders so quit the sympathetic twists

But the aboki man who steal more than 80b is at with his family, this Fulani government no get sense

Good news

This is unfair

He is in jail because he is 1. Igbo 2. PDP member 3. He is not a stooge.

Good
