The defence counsel, Uche Abangu, prayed the court to grant his client bail in most liberal terms, promising to provide reliable surety.

He sought for an adjournment and also resolution between the families of the deceased and the defendant.

However, the prosecutor, Sgt. Muideen, who opposed the bail application, stated that the defendant’s recklessness claimed two lives.

Magistrate O. F Akinlolu, in his ruling, refused the bail application made by the defence counsel.

He, therefore, ordered the remand of the defendant at the Okitipupa correctional centre.

Akinlolu adjourned the case till May 26, 2022, for trial.
