Both defendants, however, pleaded ‘not guilty’ to all six charges when read to them by the Court’s Registrar.

Counsel for the defendants, Dr. Muhammad Mansur Aliyu and Mr. M.S Diri, SAN, respectively, moved for applications for bail on behalf of their clients.

They requested the court to consider reasonable terms for bail, citing the defendants’ “established positions and cooperation during the investigation.”

Counsel to the ICPC, Mr. Suleiman Ahmad, did not oppose the bail applications.

Hon. Justice Sambo, after considering the applications, granted the accused persons bail under specific conditions designed to ensure the defendants’ continued presence in court throughout the trial proceedings.

The bail conditions require each defendant to provide two sureties who are permanent residents of Sokoto State, with each surety signing a bond of ₦1,000,000.
