Yobe: Court remands political critic Lamarbago over alleged...
原文原文 / Original TextThe State Magistrate Court 1, sitting in Damaturu, Yobe State capital, has remanded Musa Abdullahi, popularly known as Lamarbago, in a correctional facility over allegations that he defamed the state Commissioner for Budget and Planning, Hon. Muhammad Garba Gagiyo.
Lamarbago is known for his outspoken criticism of former Senate President and Senator representing Yobe North, Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan, who is a political mentor to the commissioner.
He has also frequently criticised the commissioner, his former political associate, following their political fallout after Baba Malam Wali was declared the party’s endorsed candidate.
The presiding magistrate ordered that the young man be remanded pending Monday, when the case will continue and the possibility of granting him bail, as requested by his lawyers, will be considered.
Speaking to journalists after the court session, Lamarbago appealed to human rights organisations to intervene and assist him, alleging that some persons had attacked him and dispossessed him of money and his phones.
He alleged that the Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, Hon. Muhammed Garba Gagiyo, was behind the attack, saying he had evidence to support his claim. The commissioner has, however, denied the allegation.
He said he was remanded after telling the judge, “Gagiyo sent thugs to kill me.” According to him, the judge granted bail to the man he identified as having led the alleged attack against him, Kabiru Bala, while he himself remained in custody.
Lamarbago said he does not consider himself above the law or immune from injustice, but stressed that he would continue to pursue his rights through legitimate legal means.
