The defendant pleaded “not guilty” to the charges preferred against him by the EFCC.

Upon his plea, the prosecution counsel, Sanusi Galadanchi asked the court for a trial date and the remand of the defendant pending the determination of the case.

Counsel to the defendant, Clifford Anuge prayed the court to admit his client to bail as he informed that the bail application had been filed and served on the prosecution and the court.

Justice Majekobe, after listening to both parties, granted Yuvraj bail in the sum of N4.1million and two sureties in the sum of N2, 050, 000 (Two Million, Fifty Thousand Naira) each.

She further ordered that sureties must provide the court with their “affidavits of means, passport photographs and one of the sureties must be a resident of Ogun State with landed property”.

The convicts pleaded “guilty” to the charges preferred against them.

Consequently, Adeyemi was convicted and sentenced to five months imprisonment while Dauda bagged six months community service.

Also, the convicts were ordered to restitute their victims as well as forfeit all items recovered from them by the EFCC.
