While Segun was charged on a two-count charge, Olamide is facing a five-count charge. Babatunde is accused of a seven-count charge.
They all pleaded “not guilty” to their respective charges.
Counsel prosecuting the first and second defendants, Sanusi Galadanchi, and his counterpart prosecuting the third defendant, Shamsudeen Bashir, both prayed the court for a hearing date and also for an order to remand the defendants in prison.

Justice Ajoko adjourned the case of the first and second defendants to March 20, 2019 for hearing of the bail applications, and April 12, 2019 for trial.
He equally adjourned the case of the third defendant to March 19, 2019 for hearing of bail application and April 12, 2019 for trial, and thereafter ordered that the defendants be remanded in prison pending the hearing of their bail applications.
