Ikwechegh faces a three-count charge related to assault and threats to life, but pleaded not guilty. The court’s bail conditions require two sureties, each valued at N500,000, who must reside within the court’s jurisdiction and provide utility bills as proof of residence. The case has been adjourned until November 8, 2024.
Many are discussing the bail amount, with some feeling it’s too low considering the severity of the allegations. The incident highlights concerns about how politicians treat average citizens in Nigeria.
