The judge agreed with the submission of the defence counsel on the grounds that the offence for which the Defendant was charged was bailable.
The court held that bail can only be denied where any of the circumstances set out in Section 162 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act was established.
The court held that the prosecution had not furnished such circumstances before the court.
The court consequently, granted bail to the Defendant in the sum of N20 million with one surety in like sum.
The court held that the surety must depose to an affidavit of means and have a landed property.
He directed that the defendant be remanded in the custody of the correctional service pending perfection of bail.
However, the DSS laid siege to the court premises to rearrest him and operatives of the Ikoyi Prison resisted them, which led to an altercation and outbreak of fisticuffs.
