While arguing the bail application, counsel to first and third defendant, Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN) urged the court to grant his client bail. He submitted that the defendants have no criminal record and will not interfere with the proceedings or any of the witnesses if granted bail. Adegoke in praying for bail urged the court to consider that the defendants was granted administrative bail during two years of investigation by EFCC and did not jump bail nor compromised. However, Justice Dada in a bench ruling granted Olalekan Abdul, bail in the sum of N10 million and two sureties in like sum. Also, the judge granted Ishiekwene bail of N2million with two sureties in like sum.
