A Magistrate Court sitting in Owerri has declined to grant bail to the immediate past deputy governor of Imo State, Gerald Irona.
The police had, on Wednesday, arrested Irona at his Owerri residence and subsequently arraigned him in court, yesterday, with felony and treason charges.
The Guardian gathered that counsel to the ex deputy governor, S. I Imo, had, immediately he was arraigned, moved a motion that Irona be granted bail on self-recognition.
Also, Imo pleaded that if Irona could not be granted bail on self-recognition, a state lawmaker, Frank Ugboma, representing Oguta state Constituency, was willing to take him on bail.
