Justice Ramon Oshodi remanded the founder of the 'I Reign Christian Ministry' in Kirikiri Correctional Centre until his bail conditions were met. Oshodi set bail at N20 million with two sureties in the same amount.

The judge also ordered the defendant to deposit his international passport with the court's chief registrar and accelerated the case's hearing.Earlier, the defence counsel, Mr Olukunle Oyewole, urged the court to grant the defendant bail on liberal terms in his bail application dated April 10. “The defendant is a well-known religious leader and he has shown by his action that he will not jump bail.”
Boye, on the other hand, argued that the offense was serious and that the likelihood of conviction would put the defendant at risk of fleeing.“He is a bishop of so many branches and if granted bail, he may use his position to influence the prosecution witnesses as he is regarded as a man of authority who has the possibility of committing the same crime.
