Counsel to the Defendant, Razak O. Isenalumhe, Esq, pleaded with the presiding Judge to grant his client bail on the ground that he responded to the invitation by NAFDAC without being arrested.

While the Lawyer to the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Okoli Chinyere, said the accused should be kept in their custody till the next hearing.

Justice Shaibu in his ruling, however, fixed December 6, 2022 to hear the bail application.

Head of NAFDAC, Benin City, Mrs Esther Itua, in an interview with journalists, said the investigation took them from Lagos to Onitsha where they later discovered that the main source was in Edo State.

“In the warehouse, our team discovered not only Mivina chicken species but other expired products were also found there including packaging materials and a production area was also discovered,” she stated.
