An Upper Court sitting in the Federal Capital Territory Abuja has remanded a socialite and controversial aphrodisiac seller Hauwa Saidu Mohammed, popularly known as Jaruma.
Jaruma was on Tuesday charged with four counts of defamation of character, injurious falsehood, criminal intimidation, and publication of false news with intent to cause an offense against public peace.
She pleaded not guilty to the charges during the hearing on Tuesday.
Her attorney, Barr. James O. Esq., applied for bail on her behalf, but the presiding judge, Hon. Ismaila Mohammed Jibrin, denied it and ordered that she be held in Suleja prison custody until Friday, January 28, 2022.
Meanwhile, the hearing of the substantive case has been adjourned to February 23, 2022.
