Justice Usman Lamin of Jigawa State Magistrate Court has ordered that former Governor of the state, Sule Lamido, be remanded in Dustse prison.
The Judge ruled that he would remain in the prison until May 4, 2017, when hearing on applications for his bail would come up.
Mr. Lamido, who was arrested at his Kano residence on Sunday, was arraigned on Tuesday, for allegedly making inciting comments that could cause mayhem ahead of the forthcoming Local Government elections in the state.
Sequel to his arrest, his houses in Kano and Jigawa were said to have been searched by the policemen.
Lamido served as Jigawa Governor between 1999 and 2003.
He later served as Foreign Affairs Minister under former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
