The 29-year-old, from Springfield Crescent in Belfast, appeared before Coleraine Magistrates’ Court, sitting in Ballymena, via video-link from Musgrave Street police custody suite in Belfast.
During the short hearing, he spoke only to confirm he understood the charge he was facing.
A detective sergeant told the court he could connect Djalo to the charge.
Blaine Nugent, representing the accused, said he was not in a position to make an application for bail on Monday.
He requested that the case be listed again in a week’s time so a bail application could be made.
Deputy District judge Philip Mateer remanded Djalo in custody until August 8 when he will appear before the court again.
