Benue court remands PDP chieftains, Mffo, Iortyom in Makurdi correctional centre

Benue court remands PDP chieftains, Mffo, Iortyom in Makurdi correctional centre

A Benue High Court sitting in Makurdi has ordered the remand of former Deputy Chairman of the Benue State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Isaac Mffo and the erstwhile State Publicity Secretary, Bemgba Iortyom in Makurdi Correctional Centre.

Justice Kelvin Mbanongon ordered their remand in prison in a ruling on Tuesday over alleged offences of criminal conspiracy, cyber crimes and defamation of characters of Prof. Nicholas Ada, High Chief Terngu Tsegba and former Benue Assembly Speaker Terseer Tsumba

In a prosecution sheet read before the accused, the Court Clerk stated that Bemgba Iortyom and Isaac Mffo had recently alleged that the trio of Prof. Nicholas Ada, High Chief Terngu Tsegba and former Benue Assembly Speaker Terseer Tsumba, had recently sponsored thugs to disrupt Ward Congresses which were supposed to take effect in Benue state, cause the breach of peace within the PDP and had in 2023 embezzled funds meant for the conduct of elections in Benue State.

Putting an appearance for the defendants, Mffo and Iortyom, A.U. Gar pleaded that the court should grant his client bail on self-recognition but was vehemently objected by C.N. Agudu who submitted that the weight of the accusations was too heavy to be easily taken for granted.

The Presiding Judge, Justice Mbanongon concurred that the allegations bordering on Cyber Crimes could not be treated with kid’s gloves and ordered that the accused be remanded at the Màkurdi Correctional Center in Màkurdi while an investigation into the matter continues.

Justice Mbanongon then fixed October 15th, 2024 for further mention of the case.
