The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to him. 

In view of his plea, prosecuting counsel,  P. A Attah prayed the court to remand the defendant in a Correctional Centre and fix a date for commencement of trial.

Justice Adamu admitted the Dambuwa to bail in the sum of N5, 000,000 (Five Million Naira) with a surety in like sum.  The surety must deposit a landed property document worth N10 million within the jurisdiction of the court.

He adjourned the matter till June 8, 2023 for commencement of trial.
