Nigerian musician, Naira Marley, who was arrested and detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been remanded in the prison custody by Justice Nicholas Oweibo of the Federal High Court in Lagos.
Naija News understands that the judge made the remand order on Monday morning shortly after the musician was arraigned before him on 11 counts, bordering on credit card fraud.
Naira Marley had pleaded not guilty to the cyber fraud charges pressed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
The judge adjourned till May 30 to take the bail application filed by the defense counsel, Taiwo Oreagba, on behalf of his client.
Meanwhile, earlier at the court, the musician who was wearing a white tee shirt and black trousers looked subdued as he was led into the dock.
A mild drama ensued when his mother on sighting him burst into uncontrollable tears while family members who accompanied her tried to pacify her.
