The musician entered a not guilty plea, despite having the counts read to him.

After hearing the case, the court’s judge, Justice Taiwo Oyaniyi, rendered a decision and ruled that Ice Prince be kept in custody in the Ikoyi Prison.

Ice Prince was subsequently granted bail in the amount of N500,000 by Oyaniyi. He must also offer the court two trustworthy sureties.

He must remain in custody until he completes his bail condition, the magistrate said. He then put the case’s remaining proceedings on hold until September 7.

According to Anaedoonline.ng, Benjamin Hundeyin, the Force’s Public Relations Officer, acknowledged the Ice Prince offense on social media.
