Precious Chikwendu, the estranged wife of former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode appeared before the Federal High Court in Abuja for alleged cybercrime.
During court proceedings on Thursday, the counsel to the Police (IGP) Victor Okoye, demanded that the court should announce a date for the trial and remand the accused in Kuje correctional centre pending the conclusion of the matter.
The defence counsel, Alex Ejesieme (SAN), however, moved against the request of the prosecution counsel, asking for bail for the defendant.
