Two church workers of Mountain of Liberation and Miracles Ministry (a.k.a. Grace Nation International, Liberation City) have been arraigned before an Ikeja High Court for an alleged N13 million fraud.
Ms Success Ibilibor Udoka and Ms Prosper Chinonso Iheukwumere were brought before Justice Hakeem Oshodi by the Police Special Fraud Unit (SFU) on a four-count charge, to which they pleaded not guilty.
While the police through their Head of Legal Department, Mr. Emmanuel Jackson disclosed that the police is ready for trial and also urged the court to take their plea, their counsel, Mr Nicholas Akahabue prayed the court to grant them bail on self recognition and liberal terms.
Akahabue told the court that he was willing to stand for the defendants as surety if the prayer was granted and also to ensure that the said money was refunded to the church before the end of the trial.
Jackson did not oppose the bail request but urged the court to grant them bail on a condition that would ensure they appeared for trial at the next adjourned date.
