She pleaded not guilty.

The Defence Counsel, Mr. Oladipupo Olatubosun, pleaded with the Court to grant the defendant bail on most liberal term as she had credible sureties and will not jump bail.

However, the  application for bail was opposed by  Prosecutor, Olusegun, on the ground that the suspect might jump bail.

The Magistrate, Modupe Awodele, who ordered that the defendant be remanded in Ilesa Correctional Centre, then transferred the matter to the Ejigbo Chief Magistrate’s Court to determine on the issue of bail and adjourned the matter till 21st December, 2020 for mention.
