The defendants pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Muntaka asked a date for trial and also urged the court to consider the provision of Section 396 (3) of the administration of Criminal justice Act, 2015 to give an acceleration hearing by adhering to day-to-day trial.The defence counsel, S. G. Odeh, applied for bail of his clients which was granted by the court on self recognition; but with the caveat that the bail bond be countersigned by the defence counsel. The case has been adjourned to 13th and 14th February, 2018 for trial.One more photo below.
