The police charged the defendant with causing an accident by reckless driving which he pleaded not guilty to.
Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Mr Chinedu Ogada told the court that the defendant of Wuse Zone 4, dangerously rode a motorcycle and lost control of it on April 29. Ogada alleged that the motorcycle fell as a result and one Victor Edey who was with the defendant, sustained injuries and was rushed to National Hospital, Abuja for treatment.
The prosecution counsel said the defendant connived with one Odinaka Mbonu who is at large and caused the disappearance of the motorcycle at the scene of the accident.The defence counsel, Geraldine Amah applied for the bail of the defendant, pursuant to Section 36 subsection 5 of the 1999 constitution, urging the court to exercise its discretion judiciously in favour of the defendant.
The prosecution, however, opposed the bail and prayed the court to remand the defendant on the grounds that the victim was still unconscious in the intensive care unit in a hospital.
