    The bail applications were heard at the Oyo State High Court, Court 8, Ring Road, Ibadan, on Tuesday.

    Counsel for the suspects had filed a summons of application for bail before the court.

    After listening to the submissions and arguments of the counsel on points of law, Justice Olawoyin adjourned ruling on the bail application till Tuesday, January 13.

    The suspects are currently being remanded at the Nigerian Correctional Centre Agodi

    Fasasi was represented by Waheed Olajide, Ex-queen Naomi was represented by Musibau Adetunmbi (SAN) and Hamzat was represented by Adekunle Sobaloju (SAN).

    The cases were argued separately by the counsel in a proceeding that lasted over five hours.

    The state team was led by the Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, Mr Abiodun Aikomo who led top officials of the Ministry of Justice.
