The son of the Jigawa State Governor, Aminu Lamido, has been remanded to prison custody by the Federal High Court sitting in Kano, over money laundering charges.
Judge Satun Riman ordered that Mr Lamido be remanded in prison pending his ruling on his bail application which is to occur tomorrow.
The younger Lamido joins a growing list of public officials and politically exposed persons who are spending time in the prison cell due to charges bordering on corruption.
Aminu Lamido was arrested on December 12 at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport after failing to declare $40,000 in his possession.
