The Kaduna State High Court has fixed October 12 for the hearing of a bail application filed by Nehemiah Adejoh, the driver of the car that knocked down the first female combat helicopter pilot, Flying Officer Tolulope Arotile.
Nehemiah, who was earlier arraigned before a Kaduna magistrate court, was charged with criminal conspiracy, culpable homicide as well as traffic related offences.
His counsel, John Ndam, told THEWILL that the case against Nehemiah at the magistrate court had been withdrawn for lack of jurisdiction.
He said his client is now standing trial for a charge of culpable homicide at the State High Court.
Flying officer Arotile was killed on July 14 after a Kia Sorento SUV allegedly driven by Nehimiah Adejoh knocked her down while reversing to exchange pleasantries with her.
