A high court in Rivers on Monday, May 16, scheduled Friday, May 20, for the hearing of a bail application filed by Farah Dagogo, a gubernatorial aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
In its ruling on Monday, the court ordered Dagogo, a member of the House of Representatives, to be returned to the Port Harcourt Maximum Correctional Centre.
The verdict was read by the presiding judge, Justice Chinwendu Nworgu.
Earlier, it was reported that Dagogo had been arrested by the police.
The arrest was made barely 24 hours after Governor Nyesom Wike accused Dagogo of sponsoring the attack on the PDP's secretariat in the state and declared him wanted.
Dagogo, who represents Degema-Bonny Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, was arrested at the PDP zonal secretariat in Port Harcourt.
Governor Wike had alleged that Dagogo sent suspected cultists to attack the secretariat during the screening of National Assembly and State House of Assembly aspirants.
Dagogo, however, denied the allegation. He said he was never at the PDP Secrtariat where aspirants for National and State Assembly were being screened since he is a governorship aspirant.
