Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja yesterday granted a bail variation for five #EndBadGovernance protesters, reducing the bail amount to N5 million each.
Recall that five of the ten #EndBadGovernance protesters, who were previously remanded in prison by the federal government, have struggled to meet the original bail conditions.
Justice Nwite had on September 11, initially granted bail to all ten protesters, totalling N100 million. “The bail is hereby granted to the defendants in the sum of N10 million each with one surety in the same amount,” he had ruled. The sureties were also required to swear to an affidavit of means, and both the defendants and sureties were to submit their international passports and recent passport photographs to the registrar.The defence lawyers later appealed the stringent bail terms, particularly for the five defendants unable to meet the requirements.
The new conditions set by the court are for N5 million bail each, with one surety in the same amount. The surety must be a close relative, specifically a father or mother, or another blood relative residing within the jurisdiction, if neither parent was available.
