The court was
forced to adjourn briefly, while the accused was immediately taken to
the toilet to clean up. Some 20 minutes later, the court relocated to
another room where his plea was finally taken. The accused, who said
he resides under the bridge at Iyana-Ipaja, a suburb of Lagos,
summoned courage and entered a “not guilty” plea.
The magistrate
granted the accused a bail of N60,000 with two sureties in like
sum.
