Amoo was initially arrested on the 10th of September last year and was reminded in prison for almost a month before he was released on bail on the 7th of October last year.
The criminal charges against the former U17 player were laid by the Danish authorities in April, July, and August last year.
Amoo has since left Denmark to come back to Nigeria after the allegations were laid against him.
