Sergeant Nicholas Akeene, who is the prosecuting officer, told the court that the defendants committed the offence on November 24, and were arraigned a day afterwards.According to Akeene, the sex workers unlawfully engaged in the illegal act at about 11pm on Thompson Avenue in Ikoyi.Only Odega, the 61-year-old, pleaded ‘not guilty’ of all the accused, as the remaining four agreed that they were guilty of the charges leveled against them.
SA Owhoraye, counsel to Odega, therefore urged the court to grant her bail in the most liberal terms since she pleaded not guilty to the charge.
