Meanwhile, the defendant shall be remanded in prison custody pending the hearing and determination of his application.One of the Count Charge reads: "That you, Mallam Abdulkadir Ibrahim, on or about the 24th of January 2017 at Ilorin within the Judicial Division of this honourable court with intent to defraud, obtained the sum of Four Million, Four Hundred and Eighty Thousand Naira (N4,480,000.00) only from Mr. Ezekiel Ola Babatunde through Mallam Bakare Dauda by falsely pretending that it was further part payment of the cost price of 386 bags of one hundred kilograms of maize and 420 bags of one hundred kilograms of soybeans which you purported to have the capacity to supply him and which representations you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence".
