They pleaded not guilty. 

The prosecutor, Inspector Emmanuel Ajayi, had no objections on their bail but asked the Court to give short adjournment to enable the Police to prove they committed the alleged offence.

The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. A.S. Odusanya, granted them bail with one surety and they were remanded in custody pending when they will perfect their bail conditions.

The matter was further adjourned due to the Judicial strike pending when the Court will start sitting properly for hearing.
