The lead defence lawyer, O. C. Higher King, urged the court to grant the defendant bail on self-recognisance, considering his status in the society.

But, Emi George, lead lawyer holding a watching brief for the International Federation of Women Lawyers, Rivers State branch, urged the court not to grant the accused bail in view of alleged ‘threat to the life of the victim.’ Chief Magistrate Poromon after listening to arguments of both lawyers, granted the accused bail in the sum of N2 million, and that the surety must be residing in the magisterial district.All rights reserved.
