The suspect pleaded not guilty to the charges when it was read to him.


In view of his plea, prosecution counsel, E.K Garba applied for a trial date and sought the defendant to be remanded in Kaduna Correctional Centre.

After listening to both counsels, Justice Khobo granted the defendant bail in the sum of Two Million Naira only and a surety in like sum.


The surety must own a property in Kaduna with a Certificate of Occupancy which should be verified by the court registrar.  He also adjourned the matter to January 25, 2024 for hearing.
