The defendant pleaded “not guilty” to the charges when they were read to her.
In view of this, prosecution counsel, Nnaemeka Omenwa, asked for a trial date and also prayed that the defendant be remanded in the appropriate custody pending the trial date.
Omenwa further told the court that the defence counsel sent a bail application from the sister case of the defendant before Justice Rahman Oshodi to his e-mail.
He, however, stated that he needed clarification from the defence counsel to enable him know the one to rely on before he files his response.
Responding, the defence counsel, Emefo Etudo, told the court that he was not a party to the matter before justice Oshodi.
He, however, prayed that the bail application should be given an earlier date for hearing in line with his discussion with the prosecution.
Justice Mojisola Dada, thereafter, adjourned the bail application to March 24, 2026 and May 4, 2026 for the commencement of trial.
