An Abuja lawyer, Victor Giwa, has been ordered to remain in police custody following his arrest. The decision was reached by the court after he was arraigned on allegations linked to professional misconduct and other offenses currently under investigation. The ruling has drawn public attention due to Giwa’s profile in the legal community.

According to reports, the lawyer was arrested earlier in Abuja and presented before the court, where prosecutors asked that he be remanded while investigations continue. The court agreed, ruling that keeping him in custody would allow the police to gather more evidence before the next hearing. His legal team is, however, expected to challenge the remand order in the coming days.

The case has sparked debates within legal circles, with many insisting that every accused person deserves fair hearing until proven guilty. Meanwhile, the police have assured that the matter will be handled transparently, while the court process continues.
