The defendants, Olakunle Tobun (63), Adewale Quadri (70), and Mrs. Omotola Tobun (69), face charges of conspiracy and exhumation of corpses.

All three defendants pleaded not guilty and the Magistrate, Mrs. T.G. Daodu, granted each of them bail in the amount of N500,000, with one surety in the same sum.

The case was adjourned until November 12, for hearing. (NAN)
