National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA)<\/a> charged Evbuomwan with drug trafficking.<\/p>\nIn his ruling, Justice Lweis Allagoa, held that it is trite law that an accused person is presumed innocent, until proven guilty before a court of law, adding that the defendant has shown that he would attend his trial.<\/p>\n
The judge ordered the defendant to produce two sureties in like sum and held that the sureties must be owners of verifiable landed properties within the court\u2019s jurisdiction and a GL15 Civil Servant.<\/p>\n
He adjourned the case until Feb. 18 for trial.<\/p>\n
Earlier, the NDLEA Counsel, Mr Augustine Nwagu, opposed the bail application filed on behalf of the defendant by his counsel, Chief Benson Ndakara, on grounds that investigations were still ongoing.<\/p>\n
The NDLEA alleged that the defendant\u00a0 committed the offence on Dec. 18, 2021, at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport.<\/p>\n
He said the defendant was arrested at the gate \u2018C\u2019 departure hall of the Airport, during the outward clearance of passengers onboard an Ethiopian Airline flight.<\/p>\n
The prosecutor said that the volume of tramadol weighing 1.55kg, was recovered from the defendant during the clearance.<\/p>\n
The offence, he said, contravenes the provisions of Section 20(1) of the NDLEA Act, Cap N30, Laws of the Federation 2004.<\/p>\n
The Act provides for a penalty of life imprisonment, if convicted on the offence.<\/p>\n
