The defendants pleaded not guilty to the charge against them.
Following their plea, the defendants’ lawyers, Kyari Gadzama; Kole Bello, and J. W. Dong, told the court that their clients’ bail applications had been filed and served on the prosecution. While moving the bail applications, Gadzama, urged the court to admit his client to bail in the most liberal terms, and that the court should also grant him bail on self-recognisance.The prosecutor, however, opposed the bail applications.
In a short ruling on the bail application, Justice Oweibo admitted the defendants to bail in the sum of N500m, each with one surety in like sum. Justice Oweibo, who adjourned the matter till June 21 for trial, ordered that the defendants be remanded in the custody of the SFU till they perfect their bail conditions.All rights reserved.
