Judge Satun Riman ordered that Mr Lamido be remanded in prison pending his ruling on his bail application after he was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Prior to this time, the governor’s son had been enjoying administrative bail granted to him by the EFCC since December 13, a day after he was arrested at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport by EFCC operatives for allegedly not declaring $40,000 in his possession on his way to board an Egypt bound flight to Cairo.
