Days after his arrest and with speculations and fears by his lawyer �and supporters that he was being tortured in�Police custody, Leader of Rivers House of Assembly, Hon Chidi Llyod, was on Wednesday arraigned before Justice L. L Nyordee of the Port-Harcourt high court.

He is facing a six-count charge of conspiracy to murder and assault, attempted murder and malicious damage arising from the fracas in the House of Assembly on 9 July.

Though the case has been adjourned till the 6th of August, he was unable to walk on his own and had to be aided by 2 security men.

The House Deputy Speaker, Leyii Kwanee said the inability of Lloyd to walk on his feet was a confirmation of the alarm they had earlier raised that the man was being tortured to extract�information�from him.
