Nollywood actor Ugezu J. Ugezu has been arraigned before the Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged defamatory Facebook posts against Nigerian politician, Daniel Kanu. The 56-year-old was arraigned before Justice Salim Ibrahim on a four-count charge bordering on cybercrime offences filed by the Inspector-General of Police.
The prosecution alleged that the actor published claims that Kanu had been arrested and prosecuted over financial fraud and illegal dealings involving a bank; however, Ugezu pleaded not guilty to all the charges.
Despite the prosecution’s opposition, Justice Ibrahim granted the application, admitting the actor to bail in the sum of N20 million with two sureties.
Justice Ibrahim ordered that the moviestar remain in custody until all bail conditions are fulfilled.
The case was adjourned until February 10 for commencement of trial.
