The prosecutor prayed for an adjournment to enable him to study the case file and present his witnesses.
The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The defence counsel, Adunni Olanipekun, urged the court to grant her client bail, and assured the court that her client would not jump bail.
Chief magistrate A.O Adeosun granted a N50,000 bail to the defendant with one surety in like sum, and adjourned the case until April 6 for hearing.
