Elizabeth reportedly undertook to produce the said Tajudeen to the police at the State Department of Criminal Investigation (SDCI), Yaba.

She was also accused of taking on bail, Tajudeen, who stood surety to Adewale Adegbite Ojo.

Our correspondent gathered that the defendant promised to produce him at the state criminal department, Yaba Lagos on May 2nd and any other date as his presence may be required by the police until the case against him is finally disposed off or forfeited.

The case was adjourned till September 22, 2016.
