The bail conditions include a sum of one million Naira and two sureties, with one of the sureties being a landlord within the court’s jurisdiction.
The case has been adjourned until May 22 for further mention, and the magistrate has instructed the prosecutor to provide a duplicate of the case file to the state director of public prosecutions for guidance.
