The court allowed bail of RM72,000 with two local sureties and ordered the accused to surrender his passport to the court.
Nwaokorie Chikezi Patric, 41, a diploma in tourism student at a private college, claimed trial after the charges were read out in English before Judge Nurul Mardhiah Mohammed Reza who acted as magistrate in the case. All the offences were allegedly committed at a school here between Feb 4 and March 4, 2021, under Section 420 of the Penal Code which carries imprisonment for up to 10 years, whipping and a fine, if convicted.
“Please impose additional conditions on the accused, namely to surrender his passport to the court and report himself to the nearest police station,” he said.
