A
Federal High Court in Lagos has remanded Mr. Kenneth Chiokwe, an alleged fake
codeine cough syrup maker in prison following his arraignment by National
Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC for producing fake
cough syrup.
Prosecuting
counsel, Umar Shamaki told the court that Chiokwe imported fake products.
Defence
counsel, Chukwudi Nneke in his bail application, urged the court to admit the
accused to bail because the offence was a bailable one.
The
prosecution did not oppose to the bail application but prayed the court to
impose stringent conditions.
Justice
Dagat, in a short ruling, granted the accused bail in the sum of N1 million and
two sureties in like sum.
One
of the sureties must be a relative of the accused and the second a landed
property owner within the court’s jurisdiction, with evidence of three years
tax clearance.
The
court ordered the remand of the accused until his bail conditions are met.
The
case was adjourned to April 5 for trial.
