An Apapa Magistrate’s Court ordered Wisdom Emmanuel’s to be remanded at the prison while standing trial before the court on a one count charge of intention to commit felony.
Emmanuel, 23, explained to the court that on the day of the incident, he went to a hotel at Ojo road, Ajegunle in Lagos to the room of one of the prostitutes identified as Faith.
The defendant added that he pleaded with Faith to offer him free sex that early morning because he had no money to pay her. Rather than yield to his request, Emmanuel lamented that Faith held him, raised the alarm and started shouting “thief! “thief!!”.
He was consequently arrested by Faith’s colleagues and other customers at the hotel and handed over to the police.
Emmanuel regretted that the police could not help him either as his explanation on his mission at the hotel were ignored. He was later docked.
After he admitted the charge, the trial Magistrate, Mrs. A. K. Shonubi entered a plea of not guilty for him.
Mrs. Shonubi admitted him to bail in the sum of N10,000 and one surety in like sum.
She adjourned the matter for mention.
However, Emmanuel was remanded at Kirikiri Prison, Apapa because nobody approached the court to sign his bail bond.
He later told P.M.NEWS that he was ashamed to send to any of his relations to come to court for his release.
Emmanuel will remain in prison custody until someone assists him to perfect his bail condition.
