She pleaded “not guilty” when the charge was read to her.


Following her not guilty plea, prosecution counsel Mabas Mabur asked the court for a trial date and prayed the court to remand the defendant in the Correctional Center.  


However, defence counsel, A.A. Maisolati  informed the court of a bail  application filed and served on the prosecution on behalf of his client. He prayed the court to admit his client to bail in most liberal terms.


After listening to the prayers of the counsels, Justice Adeyemi admitted the defendant to bail in the sum of N5million (Five Million Naira) only and two sureties in like sum. The sureties must be property owners in Oyo State.


The court further ordered that the defendant be remanded in the EFCC detention facility pending the perfection of her bail conditions.
