The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to him.
In view of his plea, prosecution counsel, SE Okemini prayed the court for a trial date. However, counsel to the defendant, Sale Abdullahi moved a motion for bail for his client which was opposed by the prosecution on the ground that he had earlier jumped an administrative bail granted him by the EFCC.
Justice Salisu thereafter remanded the defendant at Jalingo Correctional Centre and adjourned the case to February 20, 2025 for commencement of trial.
