The presiding magistrate, Mrs. S. Oyediran, who attempted to summarily try the accused persons for contempt of court because they violated her former judgment which ordered that they should maintain peace, granted them bail in the sum of N100,000 and two sureties each.
One of the sureties is expected to have landed property in Ibadan while the other must have evidence of paying taxes for the past three years.
However, due to the fact that the case was taken late, none of the accused persons could meet the bail conditions as they were taken to Agodi Prison to be remanded until they are able to meet the bail conditions.
The case was adjoured till 16 September 2010.
