The police charged Kingsley, who resides in Dagiri, Gwagwalada, Abuja, with mischief.

Magistrate Yusuf Ibrahim admitted the defendant to bail in the sum of N100,000 with one surety in like sum, who must reside within the court’s jurisdiction.
Ibrahim said that the surety must have a definite and verifiable address and must take an affidavit to forfeit the bail bond should the defendant jump bail.
