Innocent Ekwu, counsel to detained Rivers Federal lawmker, Hon. Farah Dagogo says his principal has spent 51 days in detention for a bailable offence.
Ekwu disclosed this in a chat with journalists on Thursday, in Port Harcourt.
According to him, Farah ought to have been granted bail on self recognition as a member of the Federal House of Representatives.

He called on the state government to release his client to him, as he is innocent of the charges levelled against him.
