On October 3, he filed an asset declaration form in which he concealed some of his assets.
Having pleaded not guilty, the Prosecutor, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar, urged the court to remand the defendant in police custody at the Special Tactical Squad Asokoro in Abuja, where he is being investigated for alleged illegal possession of firearms.
The matter has been adjourned to November 6 for the commencement of trial on a day to day basis as the court will not entertain frivolous applications for adjournment.
He will, therefore, be remanded at Police Special Tactical Squad pending the commencement of his trial. (NAN)
