The accused — Frank Nwokobia, 27; Ezeoke Kanayochukwu, 25; and Godwin Essien, 28, were earlier in August arraigned on a five-count charge bordering on conspiracy, fraud, impersonation and identity theft before Justice Obiozor.
The case is currently before Justice Oguntoyinbo. At the re-arraignment on Monday, the Prosecutor, Mr William Ologun of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID), alleged that the men hacked Obasa’s Facebook account and stole N9.1 million, and urged the court to take fresh pleas.
An allegation denied by the trio, they went on to urge the court to admit them to bail on liberal terms.
Consequently, Justice Oguntoyinbo granted their request and admitted them to bails in the sum of N5 million each with a surety each.
The judge then adjourned trial until Nov. 28.
