The court also ordered the defendants to be remanded at the Force CIID facility in Area 10 following complaints by Sowore that they were denied food and medical attention at the Kuje Correctional Centre.
The Magistrate had ordered the remand of Sowore and four others following their arraignment by the police on three-count charge of criminal conspiracy, unlawful assembly and inciting public disturbance.
However, the Nigerian Correctional service FCT Command could not admit the accused persons at its Kuje Medium Custodial Centre citing strict adherence to COVID-19 precautions as reason for the delay.
