Court papers states that Curtis's article against Oshiomole was published on April 10th and had the caption,
“What is wrong with my boss, the ground breaking of Edo State own Cement industry in partnership with a private company under Government Public Private Partnership (PPP) and stakeholders, no state House members or Speaker and National Assembly members presence notice. Is Edo State now a personal business of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole?”
Ugbo pleaded not guilty to the three count charges preferred against him.
Police Prosecutor, ASP Sylvester Omor, told the Court that Curtis unlawfully had in his possession a double barrel gun which was not duly registered and so contravened section 59 (1), 249 (d) and 430 (2) of the criminal code cap. 48, vol. II laws of the defunct Bendel state of Nigeria 1976, as now applicable in Edo.
After hearing the arguments, the Magistrates’, Mrs C.A. Nwoha, granted Curtis bail in sum of N100,000 and a surety in like sum who must be have a landed property. The case was adjourned till April 26th.

ReplyDeleteInteresting...Linda, pls this report is incomplete. You gave the date Curtis Ugbo wrote the article on Oshiomole but failed to give us the date he was apprehended with the gun. Was it before the article was written or after. This will be very important in solving this riddle.
ReplyDeleteIt is either he was set up by someone who wants his position or Oshio Baba is behind it.
Nollywood, na movie in the making be this o.
Hmmmm
ReplyDeleteLet him answer
ReplyDelete...merited happiness
Hehehe....all these EDO APC people. Oshiomhole is against whoever is against his choice of candidate (Godwin Obaseki). He has suspended & sack aids, cabinet members and LGA chairmen. Curtis is in d camp of the deputy governor as u can see on his dp. Oshiomhole's paid FB e-rats hv insulted & rubbished other politicians and public office holders and they were never arrested.#ifoldmylegsdeywatch. Linda post my comment.
ReplyDeleteOshame'Ole is a big FOOD! What is wrong with the aides comment? He appointed him long ago with charging him fore firearms possession, immediately the man criticised him he's being sued. I guess apc's change is all about persecuting g heir critics.
ReplyDeleteUhmmm I pity that guy Bcos Aliyu no good at all.
ReplyDeleteOsho just wanna blackmail him for speaking the truth...anyway,APC has lost its power in Edo...
ReplyDeleteI believe that what he publish about oshiomhole is truth terrorist buhari government have succeeded in turning judiciary to there own favour.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't they investigate proper before any thing.
This guy go dey finish 3 crate of guilders it is written all over his face.
#sad indeed
oshimhole as been making noise all this while....now they have started blowing horn for him too....now he is feeling the heat....rubbish APC people....Ay....
ReplyDeleteNoted
ReplyDeleteChai, GEJ, the same people that use social media to unseat you, are now prosecuting people for using the same on them. It is well.
ReplyDeleteAPC pattern of government I'd speak against them SNF get your self prosecuted. Is this really democracy?
ReplyDeleteHe has a point these re leaders who feel they are above the law they can do anything and get away with it
ReplyDeleteAdams!!! Adams!!! Bewarned. Edo state does nt belong to u. #clownNation
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, Nigerian police will never cease to amaze me, they planted the gun and are using it as an excuse for his arrest, we know it becos of the FB post that y he was arrested #curtis has the right to freedom of speech #Adams of all people now a Dictator #SHAME
ReplyDeleteHe was speakin the truth but, he has to understand that when you re doin that you re stepin on Oshiomhole...bout the gun he should know better...Adams Oshiomhole made his way through,when he was a labor leader...now he is nt doin anything...very bad 4 yur leaders...
ReplyDeletelol his own haff finish
ReplyDeleteThey want to crucify for saying the truth.why?
ReplyDeleteNigeria! A place where saying the truth is a CRIME! they have even laid false accusations and allegations on his head already! His gun was registered but wasn't registered properly.. Wtf??!
ReplyDeleteMister, God will be your strength!
Na me talk am!
Long Live LIb!!!
I really dont know the truth abt this allegations, buh all the fuss is making me raise eyebrows.
ReplyDeleteHahahhahahaha...The same way they wanted to frame up my director Nnamdi Kanu but failed woefully..A country where truth is treasonable felony..Linda na u fit be next
ReplyDeleteIs he not saying the truth? Guess the era of freedom of speech is over
ReplyDeleteIt burgs my mind when a comrade who is suppose to promote human right and freedom of speech is now prosecuting citizens for exercising their right.
ReplyDeleteIn particular; Oshimole has derailed since he joined Nigerian politics ;APC administration
This is worrisome.
Oshoo go escort dis one reach jail doormot.
ReplyDeleteSo we no run an authoritarian govt in Edo state that someone can't express his feelings. I can remember wen Adams was d NLC president, and how he critized d leaders. So y can't someone do d same to him? This is exactly wat POWER can u. The saying u can't know a man until u give him power is do TRUE.
ReplyDeleteNa dem sabi
ReplyDeleteBad move from the aide. In civil service rule applicable in both federal and state government, I will simply put it as this " you don't bite the fingers that feeds you". But the arrest for possesion of illegal weapons, its a desperate attempt by the government to "deal" with him. I can almost believe the gun was planted by some mercenaries. If the government wants to punish him they should follow the rules in the book not cook up lies. Mr Aide, next time, if you want to criticize your employer, do that codedly by using outside hands. And the rule is never be caught.
ReplyDeleteNa dem sabi! Linda take note!
