After reading the charges before the accused, they pleaded not guilty.

Thus, defence counsel, Ndubisi Okechukwu, applied for their bail application, which the prosecuting counsel Barr. Jumbo Washington, objected to and demanded their remand in the correctional centre.

After listening to the lawyers, the presiding judge, Justice F.O Riman granted the defendants bail in sum of N5 million each with a surety each.

He said the surety must swear an affidavit of means and show evidence of three years tax clearance.

The case was adjourned till July 5 for the hearing of Ejidike’s matter, while that of Okoye was adjourned till July 11.
