Civil Servant Arraigned For Exposing Kogi Gov's Abuja Residence🏠

A civil servant, Mr. Johnson Musa, was dragged before a Lokoja Chief Magistrates’ Court for allegedly threatening and exposing the Abuja residence of Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State.

Musa, an indigene of Dekina Local Government Area of the state, was alleged to have taken aerial pictures📷 of the governor’s Abuja residence with a drone camera and posted them on social media.

He was said to have posted the pictures with the caption, “This building is owned by an individual in Kogi, where hunger is the first name, in less than one year.”

The prosecuting counsel, Mohammed Abaji, a senior legal officer with the state Ministry of Justice, 🔈 Musa was arrested on Thursday by men of the Department of State Services.

Musa's bail was vehemently opposed by Abaji but the Chief Magistrate, Alhassan Husaini, said the presumption of innocence of the accused was constitutionally guaranteed and granted bail in the sum of 💰N500,000 with 2⃣ sureties in like sum, adding that the sureties must be resident within the jurisdiction of the court.

To allay the fears of the prosecution counsel over the inconclusive investigation, he ordered that a register of attendance be opened at the DSS office for the accused to report on Monday and Thursday while adjourning the case to August 17.
