KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 29 (Bernama) -- The Sessions Court here today dismissed an application for bail by a police corporal charged with wilfully released a Nigerian from the Jinjang police lock-up two weeks ago.
Judge Dazuki Ali made the ruling after hearing the submission by lawyer Latheefa Koya, representing Corporal M. Eamulai.
Eamulai, 52, was charged with committing the offence last Aug 16 during which he was not granted bail after deputy public prosecutor Suzanne Tiyon Bimen did not offer bail on grounds that the case was serious as it involved releasing a detainee in a drug trafficking case.
At the proceeding today, Dazuki dismissed the application on grounds that the grounds given by the defence was not a fact or a new material to change an earlier decision.
Prior to this, the lawyer had submitted on the same matter, except that at the proceeding today a medical report on the accused was produced, he added.
Earlier, Latheefa submitted a medical report of her client which stated that he was suffering from spinal pain following an accident.
The court then set Sept 25 for mention.
Eamulai is charged with releasing Osuji Kelly Prince, 25, who was detained for a drug offence, at the Jinjang police lock-up here between 9.30am and 10.46am last Aug 12.
