When the charges were read, Nkwachukwu pleaded not guilty to all 13 counts.
Following his plea, prosecution counsel, A.A. Usman, applied for a trial date and urged the court to remand the defendant at a Correctional Centre pending the commencement of trial.
In response, defence counsel, Kelvin C. Uzozie, informed the court that he had filed a bail application for his client and pleaded that the defendant be remanded in EFCC custody instead.
After hearing both sides, Justice R.A. Oshodi adjourned the case to October 17, 2025, for the hearing of the bail application. The judge also ordered that the defendant be remanded at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre in Lagos.
