They were alleged to have sold and converted the proceeds to their personal uses.
“The defendants were arrested and handed over to the police for prosecution,” he said
The chief magistrate, A. J. Aina, granted the defendants bail of N1 million each, with two sureties each in like sum.
The court held that one of the sureties must be a community leader.
