EKO HOT BLOG reports that Gerald Irona, the former deputy governor of Imo State, has been remanded in prison.

A Magistrate Court in Owerri gave the verdict on Thursday, March 9.

EDITOR’S PICKS  

Recall that Irona was apprehended on Wednesday by security operatives.

It was gathered earlier that he was arrested from his Owerri residence at about 10:15 am yesterday. Iron was detained at the Imo state police command before he was arraigned in court.

His offence, according to reports, was because he made a statement that Imo state will be made ungovernable during that Supreme Court battle between Governor Hope Uzodimma and Former Governor Emeka Ihedioha if Ihedioha was removed from office.

However, after hearing the prosecution counsel and defence counsel today, the presiding magistrate, C. N Ezerioha, ordered that Irona be remanded in Owerri correctional centre.
