Egbegbe pleaded not guilty to the one-count charge of theft. According to the reports, failure to meet the set bail will see Egbegbe remanded in jail.

The presiding Magistrate, A. J. Atunwa granted Egbegbe bail, with two sureties with at least N2 million in their bank accounts and property in Ikeja, Lagos.

She later adjourned the case until February 8, 2017.
