Justice Mbonu-Nwenyi instead directed the defence counsel to prepare a written application for bail and file the same at the Ihiala branch of the court for adjudication.When the matter was called up, the fourth prosecution witness, Mr Mbadugha, a farmer and an indigene of Umudim-Nnewi in Nnewi North Local Government Area of the state, mounted the witness box and gave an account of what he knew about the abduction.

Mr Mbadugha said on arrival at the filling station, he saw the leader and coordinator of the campaign tour, whom he simply identified as ‘Nwammuo’ and the first defendant, , who instructed that he and others should be given N4,000 each for petrol. The counsel, however, said diligence was required in the matter, noting that developments during the hearing so far were suggestive of a “game plan to keep the defendants perpetually in detention.”The prosecution counsel, whom PREMIUM TIMES identified simply as Charity, told the defence counsel that she still has “credible” witnesses who will give their testimony over the matter as the hearing continues.
