Kelly Nwogu, owner of the popular Estate Company, The Villa, has been remanded in prison custody till February 28, 2022, by a Federal High Court, sitting in Port Harcourt.
Justice, S. D Pam remanded the accused after his lawyer failed to secure his bail through oral application, following an objection from the prosecution counsel.
This was after the defense counsel had told the court that his client’s bail by a former court subsist.
The prosecution counsel said the defense lawyer ought to have brought a formal application and not oral application as it was not a Magistrate court.
Kelvin Nwogu is being accused of defrauding over a thousand persons. He was arrested sometime last year by the police.
