You are hereby requested to show cause why you should not forfeit to the state the sum of N2.4m entered into by you in the said recognisance under Section 132(1) of Administration of Criminal Justice Law of Lagos State, 2003.”

Aduma pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The magistrate, Mrs T. A. Ojo, admitted him to bail in the sum of N1m with two sureties in like sum.
