When the charges were read to the accused the denied to have committed the offence.
Counsel to the accused MH Lawan urged the court to dismiss or grant them bail since they have denied to have committed the offence, however the prosecutor Sgt. Lano Salihu urged the court not to grant them bail on the reason that:

1. They may go and commit similar offence.

2. They (police) have not received any update from the FIR who are based in Abuja about the injury they sustained.

3. They may jump bail and temper with the investigation.

He therefore urged the judge to reject the bail application.
