Nwogba and Nweke Face Charges for JAMB Registrar Impersonation

Arinze Nwogba and Sunday Nweke were re-arraigned before Justice Salim Ibrahim on a seven-count amended charge related to impersonation, fraud, and cybercrime. The Inspector-General of Police had initially arraigned Nwogba on October 2 on a six-count charge, leading to his remand in Kuje Correctional Centre after a guilty plea.

He was granted bail of N50 million with two sureties on October 7. The case was adjourned to October 19 for trial commencement.

Upon Nweke's arrest, the prosecution filed an amended charge, prompting the re-arraignment on October 20. During the hearing, Nweke requested an Igbo interpreter due to language barriers.

Both defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges. The prosecution sought a trial date, which was granted, and Nwogba was allowed to continue under his previous bail conditions, while Nweke was remanded in custody.

The case is set for trial on November 25.
