Nicholas Oweibo, a judge of the Federal High Court, in Lagos has granted bail in the sum of N20 million to, the son-in-law of the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate in 2019, Atiku Abubakar.
While delivering the ruling, Mr Nicholas said, “bail is granted in the sum of N20 million with one surety in like sum, the surety must be resident within the jurisdiction of this honourable court and have property within the jurisdiction of the court with passport photograph and address of the surety verified.
“This is a matter of discretion, one that should be exercised judiciously.
