Justice Idiong held that though the applicant did not prove exceptional circumstance or unusual reason to be granted bail, the applicant may have to serve the terms of the sentence before the determination of the appeal.

Counsel to INEC, Kpoobari Sigalo, explained that the conditions for bail must be perfected before the applicant can be released on bail. Recalled that the INEC had taken Ogban to court on two counts of fraudulently tampering with the election results in favour of the All Progressives Congress party during the 2019 General Election in Akwa Ibom North-West Senatorial District.

The court found Ogban who acted as the Collation/Returning Officer during the National Assembly elections guilty of manipulating and falsifying the scores of election results in Oruk Anam and Etim Ekpo local government areas in favour of the All Progressives Congress party.
