The defendant pleaded “not guilty” to the charges preferred against him when they  were read to him

 

In view of the defendant’s “not guilty” “plea,  prosecution counsel, Ayanfe Ogunsina, asked the court to fix a date for the commencement of trial and also prayed that the defendant be  remanded at a Correctional centre.

 

However,  defence counsel, Kunle Adegoke, SAN, informed the court that he had only received the charge the previous day and had worked overnight to prepare an application for bail, which was already in process. 

 

He, therefore, urged the court to release the defendant to him, assuring the court that he would produce him on the next adjourned date.

 

Justice Oshodi granted the application and ordered that the defendant be released to his counsel upon the filing of an affidavit of undertaking to produce him in court on the next adjourned date.

 

The matter was adjourned till March 24, 2026, for the commencement of trial.x
