Despite pleading not guilty, Oyeyemi, popularly known as ‘Emir’, was remanded in the Ife Correctional Facility following the court hearing.

Edmund Biriomoni, acting as Oyeyemi’s legal counsel and appointed by Adeleke, submitted a formal bail application on seven grounds. However, the prosecution counsel, Francis Osie, opposed the application, citing Section 162 and 165 of the Administration of Criminal Justice 2015.

Presiding over the case, Justice Emmanuel Ayoola adjourned the bail ruling for today’s session.

It is worth noting that during the previous court session on March 19, 2024, three journalists were detained in court by hoodlums displeased with the media coverage of the proceedings.

Reports indicate a strong security presence on Tuesday morning at the court premises. Armed policemen stationed at key points around the court were supported by three patrol vans. Security operatives were deployed both inside the premises and around the court, with the suspect also present in court.
