However,Trial judge, Justice Liman Mohammed, later granted him bail on self recognition and adjourned the matter to June 15 for hearing. Kobani is a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state. On his part, Wanjoku, who was the APC candidate for Ikwerre state House of Assembly constituency seat in the re-run election, was charged for alleged false accusation of the Ikwerre INEC Electoral Officer, Mr Kingsley Osifu, of collecting some amount of money from him to disrupt public order and security, and thereby committed an offence punishable under section 516 of the Criminal Code.
The second count said the conduct of Wanjoku allegedly obstructed the public officer from discharging his official duty, an act punishable under the criminal code.
The third count alleged that Wanjoku threatened to forcefully demand refund of the said money from the INEC officer and thereby committed an offence contrary to the criminal code.
He pleaded not guilty.
Justice Liman granted him bail in the sum of N500,000, ordering that he should get a senior civil servant to sign surety for him.
The court also ordered that he be remanded in prison custody till the bail condition was met.
