In view of his plea, the prosecution counsel, Ahmed Yerima, prayed the court for a trial date and for the remand of the defendant.
The defence counsel, Akeem Akinroye, made an oral application for the bail of his client, arguing that “he doesn’t constitute a flight-risk”.
Justice Okunuga, however, noted that the court was a court of records.
The defendant was ordered to be remanded at the Correctional Centre, pending when a formal bail application would be brought before the court.
The case was adjourned till June 28, 2023 for trial.
