Justice Latan Nyordee of the Port-Harcourt high court has denied
bail to the detained leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly Chidi
Lloyd on health grounds.
Chidi Lloyd is standing trial on a six-
count charge of conspiracy to murder and assault, attempted murder and
malicious damage over the violence that broke out on the floor of the
assembly on the 9th of July.
His legal representatives had filed
an application to secure his bail today due to what they was his
deteriorating health situation in police detention.
The court said
it cannot grant bail to an accused person that has not been arraigned
to plead guilty or not to a charge leveled against him.
The police
failed to bring Lloyd to court today contrary to expectation the
embattled lawmaker would be in court to take a plea.
