The defendant had pleaded not guilty to the charge.
However, in the course of urging the court to admit her to bail, her lawyer, Mr. J. Uwabuche, informed the court that the matter is between husband and wife, and that both families are taken step to resolve the matter.
In response, the prosecutor, Mr. Onine told the court that though bail is at the discretion of the court, and he is not against the court admitting the defendant to bail.
