Chief Magistrate O.G. Oghre did not take the plea of the suspects pending legal advice.
She ordered the police to return the case file to the Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecutions.
The magistrate, however, admitted Olowookere the second suspect to bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties each in like sum after her counsel, Spurgeon Ataene, told the court of her non- involvement in the case.
The magistrate adjourned the case until 18 November pending legal advice.
