The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The magistrate, O.O. Fadairo, granted bail to the defendant in the sum of N50,000 with one surety in like sum.
The magistrate said the surety must reside within the court’s jurisdiction and be gainfully employed with evidence of tax payment to the Ogun government.
