Igboho’s associates fail to meet bail conditions, remain with SSS
Sunday Igboho’s associates, granted bail during the week, have failed to meet their bail conditions, meaning that they will remain in custody.
Justice Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Wednesday, granted bail to eight of them, whose bail application was not challenged by the State Security Services (SSS), at N5 million each.
The judge then granted bail at N10 million each, for the other four, whose application was challenged by the SSS.
He gave the order admitting them to bail after a recess that lasted for over two hours, following the submissions of the counsels on both sides.
Those who got N5 million bail are; Abdulateef Onaolapo, Tajudeen Erinoye, Diekola Jubril, Ayobami Donald, Uthman Adelabu, Oluwafemi Kunle, Raji Kazeem and Bamidele Sunday.
The four granted bail at N10 millionaire, reportedly, Amudat Babatunde (AKA Lady K), Okoyemi Tajudeen, Abideen Shittu and Jamiu Oyetunji.
The judge ordered each of the detainees to produce two sureties, one of whom must be an employee of the Federal Government from Grade Level 12 above.
According to the judge, the sureties must be residents in Abuja, must have landed property and must swear to an affidavit of means, in addition to providing evidence of three years tax payment.
The judge also ordered that the title documents of the said property must be verified by the court’s registrar and the SSS.
Justice Egwuatu added that the four, granted N10 million bail, are to report to the SSS on the first Monday of every month for the next three months.
The judge said they should remain in the custody of the SSS until they can meet the bail conditions.
