The Presiding Magistrate, Olatunji Oladunmoye, granted him bail in the sum of N100, 000 with one surety in like sum, who must reside within the Court’s jurisdiction.
The complainant’s counsel, Eze Osinachi, had told the Court that the complainant, Mr. Chika Nwafor is a pastor within the jurisdiction of the court.

“In spite of the interventions of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) of Tunga Maje, the defendant has not stopped enticing the complainant’s wife and interfering in their marriage,” he said.
He said that the complainant seeks the Court to compel the defendant to stop enticing his wife and interfering in his marriage.
