A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos State on Thursday adjourned the hearing of an application filed to secure the bail of arrested gospel singer and former member of Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries (MFM), Ayotunde Richard.

SaharaReporters had reported how Richard was arrested over a petition from Davidson Adejuwon, who is a lawyer and reportedly an aide to the church founder, Dr Daniel Olukoya.

The lawyer accused Ayotunde Richard and others of sundry acts of cyberbullying and libelling Olukoya.

Davidson filed the petition as counsel for one Mrs Sanni, an aide to Olukoya reportedly saddled with the cleric's social media concerns about Olukoya.

Ayotunde Richard had also filed a suit against the General Overseer of the church, Pastor Olukoya, over an alleged breach of his fundamental human rights.

Other respondents in the case are Davison Olaniran Adejuwon Esq; Superintendent of Police Tawose Ayoleyi Ajayi and the Nigeria Police Force.

Olukoya, Davidson, Ajayi and the Nigeria Police Force are the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Respondents respectively.

Richard was arraigned before the Federal High Court on Thursday but the court could not hear the bail application filed on his behalf by his lawyers because the other party requested for more time to respond on the same application.

Giving an update on the case in a short statement made available to SaharaReporters, Richard's lawyer said, "The bail application for Richard could not be moved as Respondent's Counsel asked for time to respond to same."

"A crowd of supporters about 30 man strong demonstrated outside the gates of the court while some MFMites numbering four attended the court session."

"A counsel appeared in court holding watching brief for the complainant.

"Richard was in court too ,calm, cool and composed .Cheerful even.

"Matter adjourned to April 15th 2024 for the hearing of the bail application," he added.
