Justice Ibrahim Kala of the Federal High Court ordered that the two be kept behind bars after they were arraigned before him by the police.
Osama and Udoek were faced with a three-count charge of conspiracy, cyberstalking, and character assassination, to which they pleaded not guilty.
The police prosecutor, Anthony Iyeye, informed the court that the defendants and others still at large, used computers and other network platforms to disseminate false information about Mrs. Omowunmi.
Iyeye also claimed that the defendants damaged Wunmi's character by carrying placards that read, “Wunmi Killed Mohbad! Period! E No Go Better For Wunmi.”
