But upon regaining freedom, Idowu said Adebayo would return to the business of dealing in illicit drugs.

The accused did not have legal representative when he was arraigned.

Magistrate Olayemi in her ruling, transferred the case to Okuku Magistrate Court for mention on November 11, 2019 because the offences were committed in the Okuku Magisterial District.
