Meanwhile, a volunteer counsel to the accused persons, C. I Nnemeka orally applied that Ndume be granted bail.  He also asked that he be allowed unhindered access to both accused persons. Ndume, who told the court that he is suffering from a prostrate illness, said he will require constant medical attention and medication. Prosecutor Osagie however said the SSS has adequate medical facilities and none of the accused persons had informed it of any medical ailment that was not treated.

Adjourning the case till December 6 for hearing, Magistrate Oyebola said it is expedient that the sentencing be put on hold until the determination of the other charges. She ordered that both accused persons be remanded in SSS custody, be given unhindered access to their counsel and be given appropriate medical attention.
