He also noted that the prosecution had filed a counter-affidavit, objecting to the defendants bail application “because of the social status of the defendants’ parents.” “There is nothing in the counter-affidavit that should be a clog in your lordship’s discretion in admitting the boys to bail.But Martins, who confirmed that he had filed a counter-affidavit dated March 26, opposed him.
“The victim , is a 24-year-old young lady and the hotel belongs to the father of the first defendant, Don-Chima George.
