A Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has ordered the remand of George Turnah, an ex-political ally to former President Goodluck Jonathan, in prison custody.
Turner, a former Special Adviser on Youths to the ex-managing director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Bassey Dan-Abia, is facing an alleged fraud.
He was brought to court on Wednesday by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Turnah, alongside seven firms, were arraigned on 12 counts bordering on obtaining by false pretence, money laundering and abuse of office to the tune of N3, 094, 268, 235.69.
Earlier, the trial judge, Justice Ibrahim Watila, dismissed the oral bail application of the accused person through his (Turnah) counsel, Amuda Kanika, SAN.
