Court Grants Bail To 29 Nasarawa Women Arrested During Protest Against Supreme Court’s Judgment

The Magistrate’s court in Lafia, Nasarawa State has granted bail to 29 out of the 30 protesting women who were previously sent to a custodial centre following their demonstration against the announcement of the Supreme Court’s Judgement affirming the election of Governor Abdullahi Sule.

Speaking to journalists yesterday after the ruling, defense Counsel, Barrister Ayiwulu Baba Ayiwulu elucidated on the revised bail conditions, expressing contentment with the court’s decision.

“The court has granted them bail with a new bail condition which is fair and will be released today to join their family members.”

The previous bail condition, which necessitated the production of a director and a bail bond of N2 million in the event of bail violation, has been altered. Ayiwulu highlighted.

“The court, in its wisdom, has reverted to a surety located in premises close to the court with a bail bond of N500”.
