Defence counsel, Okobe Najite, applied for the bail of the defendant in a most liberal term.
However, the prosecutor opposed the bail application of the counsel, saying that the victim is in critical condition and yet to recovered.
He added that the defendant had absconded since 2017 when granting her bail, adding bail could give the suspect opportunity to run away again.
