The celebrity barman as he is fondly called was arraigned before Justice Kehinde Ogundare on three counts of spraying and tampering with Naira notes during a social event at Eko Hotel in Lagos.

When the case was called on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, Bilikisu Buhari appeared for the prosecution while Chikaosolu Ojukwu, SAN, announced an appearance for the defendant.

After the charge was read to the defendant, he pleaded not guilty to the charge.

In moving the bail application of the defendant, his counsel urged the court to grant him bail on liberal terms.

Besides, he told the court that the offence with which the defendant is charged is a misdemeanor and that the prescribed punishment ranges from a fine of N50,000 or an imprisonment term of six months.

He urged the court to grant bail on very liberal terms to the defendant as he is a first offender with no past criminal records.

His counsel also informed the court that the defendant is an employer of labour with over 1000 employees on his payroll, who are dependent on their jobs.

He, consequently, urged the court to grant his application as moved.

In response, the prosecutor said she would leave the issue of bail to the court’s discretion.
