The defendants pleaded “not guilty” to the counts.
In view of the plea, prosecuting counsel, G.K. Latona, urged the court to fix a date for trial and to remand the suspect in prison custody.
Counsel to the defendant, Alex Marama, however, notified the Court that he received the charges “yesterday” and so was unable to file bail applications.
“We therefore seek to make an oral application for bail of our client,” he said, arguing that the defendant had been on EFCC’s administrative bail, “and did not violate any conditions preferred against him”.
Latona, opposed the application for bail, urging the court to take into cognizance the nature of the offence committed.
