According to him, the offence, contravening Section 390(9) of the Criminal Laws of Oyo State, 2000, is punishable under the same section.
However, the court president, Mrs Sukurat Yusuf, granted the defendant bail of N50,000 with two sureties in like sum.
She, subsequently, adjourned the case until Aug. 21 for hearing. (NAN)
