The defence counsel representing popular blogger and social media influencer, Justice Mark Chidiebere, also known as Justice Crack, has withdrawn the bail application in the ongoing cybercrime case.
Justice Crack appeared before the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Thursday, following allegations of inciting soldiers to create discontent within the system of the Nigerian Army.
TVC News Online reported last week that the Federal High Court remanded Justice Crack in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
The defendant was arraigned on a three-count charge of alleged cybercrime, breach of public peace, and felony, to which he pleaded not guilty.
Following the arraignment, counsel to the DSS, Mark Oruba, urged the court to remand the defendant in DSS custody in the interest of public security.
However, defence counsel opposed the application, informing the court that although they had been served with the charges, they intended to file a bail application for hearing later in the week.
In a short ruling, Justice Joyce Abdulmalik ordered that the defendant be remanded in DSS custody until May 25 for the commencement of the trial and hearing of the bail application.
