Two Ogun PDP Members Remanded

An Abeokuta Magistrate Court has remanded two members of the newly-constituted Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) caretakers committee.

The court gave the order after failing to meet their bail conditions.

Bankole Osisanya and Nike Temidayo were accused of conspiring with others, who are said to be at large, to commit an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 516 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Ogun State of Nigeria, 2006.

The duo were also accused of conducting themselves in a manner likely to cause a breach of the public peace by organising a PDP caretaker committee meeting contrary to a subsisting Federal High Court judgement, thereby, committing an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 249 (d) of the Criminal Code, Laws of Ogun State of Nigeria, 2006.

Their arraignment followed a complaint by a factional party state chairman, Adebayo Dayo, who said he remained the only chairman of the party in the state.

The court adjourned the case till October 5 and 6, 2017 for further hearing.
