Recall that yesterday, Dagogo was granted bail by the Federal High Court which also restrained the commissioner of police, and others from interfering in his fundamental human right.
Farah was brought to the High Court despite the fact that he was due to appear at the same High Court presided over by Justice Chinwendu Nwogu on 16 May, 2022, to take his plea.

The Presiding Judge, Justice Chinwendu Nwogu, adjourned to 16 May, 2022, and remanded Farah Dagogo in prison custody.
