A Federal High Court in Awka, the Anambra State capital, on Wednesday, granted bail to Nnamdi Emeh, the whistleblower who exposed an organ trafficking ring within Anambra police command.
SaharaReporters earlier reported that the Nigeria Police Force had finally arraigned Emeh before a Federal High Court in Awka, on 12 counts.
They accused him of committing crimes alleged to have violated several regulations and laws.
After the charges were read, Emeh, however, pleaded not guilty.
His lawyer, Mr. Justus Ijeoma Esq, moved the bail application already filed for him while the police filed a counter-affidavit in opposition to his bail application.
The judge subsequently reserved the ruling on the bail application to Tuesday, May 16 and remanded him in the custody of the Federal Correction Centre, Awka.
SaharaReporters had reported that Emeh, who has been in police custody for weeks, was on April 2, 2023, transferred from the Force Headquarters in Abuja to the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Awka.
His transfer to the state came despite public outcry as to why he would be transferred from the Force Headquarters Abuja to the Anambra State Command of the Nigeria Police, where most of its senior officers were named in the gory details of the atrocities happening at the Special Anti-Robbery Squad unit, Awkuzu.
