Former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu will remain in prison until October 31st, as the case has been rescheduled.
Ekweremadu appeared in court on Thursday and will remain in custody because the judge adjourned the case until the end of October for a hearing.
It should be noted that the Nigerian senator first appeared before the Uxbridge magistrates’ court in London, where he denied all charges levelled against him.

Both Ekweremadu and his wife were denied bail and remanded in custody while the case was adjourned to July 7, and now August 4, 2022.
However, on July 2nd, his wife, Beatrice, was granted bail under strict conditions.
It was gathered that Ekweremadu put in a request for a new counsel on Wednesday. However, the Nigerian senate ably represented by Adamu Bulkachuwa (in brown kaftan), senate committee chairman on foreign affairs, was in court to show support for Ekweremadu.
Only 20 people were allowed into the court premises to witness proceedings and any and all recording devices were barred.
