Former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido
|
This evening in Abuja, Justice Gabriel Kolawole of the Federal High Court granted him bail in the sum of N25million and two sureties, who must produce a three-year tax certificate, must have C of O of a property in Abuja worth N25million and must be at least a level 16 officer in the civil service, serving or retired.
The bail must be a big respite for the sharp-tongued former governor, charged with money laundering offences in Kano on Thursday. He was remanded in prison custody because the EFCC, the prosecutor declined to accommodate him on grounds that its cells were. congested.
The outlook was bad for him then as there was a clear possibility he was going to spend the two months in Kano jail as the trial judge, Evelyn Anyadike announced she was going on vacation and would only hear the case on 28 September.
But on Monday, Sule and his sons were removed from the prison to make the journey to Abuja, where the bail was given to him and his sons today.
