Days after his arrest and with speculations and fears by his
lawyer and supporters that he was being tortured in Police custody,
Leader of Rivers House of Assembly, Hon Chidi Llyod, was on Wednesday arraigned
before Justice L. L Nyordee of the Port-Harcourt high court.
He is facing a six-count charge of conspiracy to murder and
assault, attempted murder and malicious damage arising from the fracas in the
House of Assembly on 9 July.
Though the case has been adjourned till the 6th of August, he was
unable to walk on his own and had to be aided by 2 security men.
The House Deputy Speaker, Leyii Kwanee said the inability of Lloyd
to walk on his feet was aconfirmation of the alarm they had earlier raised
that the man was being tortured to extractinformation from him.
