However, they (suspects) pleaded not guilty to the charges preferred against them.

The defence counsel  Tunbosun Oladipupo  urged the court to grant the accused persons bail in the most liberal terms.

The Presiding Magistrate F.A Sodamade granted the accused persons bail in the sum of N500,000 with one surety each, who must provide evidence of three years tax clearance and swear to an affidavit of means.

The case was adjourned to November 29, 2018 for hearing.
