When the case came up for hearing at the high court on Thursday, defence counsel, Mr Donatus Njoku, applied for bail for his client.

The  State Acting Director of Public Prosecution, Mr Jude UdokaChukwu, however, opposed the bail application.

UdokaChukwu argued that bail could only be allowed when the hearing on the matter fully commences in court.

The Judge, Justice Iheanacho Chima, therefore, adjourned the matter until Nov 28, Dec 6 and 13 for further hearing.
