Presidental Candidate Held by Police on Dud Cheque Charge

The presidential candidate of the United National Party for Development (UNPD), Mrs Ebiti Ndok, has been remanded in jail for allegedly issuing fake cheques to two Abuja hotels.

She was remanded by the Keffi Chief magistrate until April 19 in the Maximum Security Prison, at Keffi, in Nasarawa State,.


Mrs. Ndok was arraigned by the police last Thursday after she reportedly issued dud cheques for the sum of a million naira to the Onnyx Hotel and another, for half a million, to Transcorp Hilton Hotel, both in Abuja.

Both parties had been on Mrs Nodk’s trail in connection with the cheques and only caught up with her when she appeared on last week’s televised presidential debate.

Mrs Ndok was said to have stayed at Onnyx Hotel between last November and January but was evicted for failure to pay her debts.
