The defence counsel, Chris Mamman, had made an oral application for settlement and vacation of the order.
Earlier, the prosecuting counsel, Nnamdi Ugochukwu, had told the court that the AEPB sought and obtained an order to seal the hospital after the defendant failed to appear in court on June 8, in defiance of a summon on May 17.
