Meanwhile, Emmanuel reportedly added to the drama as he began recording videos of the police station and its officers upon arrival at the Asokoro police station, further exacerbating the situation by inciting disturbance in a public office.

Judge Aliyu Kagarko, who handled the case, granted Emmanuel bail in the sum of N1 million, with a surety of a similar amount.

The case was adjourned until April 18 for further hearing.
