A Federal high court sitting in Kano has ordered that former governor of Jigawa state Sule Lamido and two of his sons, Aminu and Mustapha be remanded in Kano Prison till September 28th when their bail application will be heard. The former governor and his sons are being accused of collecting bribe totaling N1.35 billion from government contractors when he was governor. Picture above shows the former governor and his sons arriving court this morning... 
At the hearing today, the presiding judge, Justice Evelyn Anyadike ruled that the former governor, his sons and one of his aides, Aminu Mustapha be kept in Kano prison despite a plea from their counsel that they should be transferred to the EFCC cell in Abuja or Kano. EFCC counsel had objected to this, claiming that the cells in both Kano and Abuja are full to capacity.

TBoss has defended Thin Tall Tony after social media users made fun of him for driving a cab. A Twitter user took to the platform to reveal that she ordered a ride via a new online app and former Big Brother Naija contestant, Thin Tall Tony, was the cab driver who popped up. She later shared a follow-up tweet revealing that, indeed, TTT was her driver. She shared a photo as proof. Sadly, some saw it as an opportunity to shame the former reality star.

TBoss' sister, Wendy also defended TTT and said he is doing a legit hustle and not living a fake life.
