Justice IJEOMA OJUKWU waived the earlier requirement that one of SOWORE’s deposits fifty million naira as security and reduced the amount attached to BAKARE’s bail from fifty million to thirty million naira.
The court had on October 4 this year granted both men bail on certain conditions, which they considered stringent and which they could not meet, prompting them to apply to the court for variation.
Justice OJUKWU said all other conditions should remain, just as she adjourned till November 6 for the commencement of trial in the case, in which SOWORE and BAKARE are charged with among others, treasonable felony.
Speaking with newsmen, counsel to SOWORE, FEMI FALANA, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria said they got what they asked from the court.
The judge had in a ruling on October 4, 2019 granted Sowore bail at one hundred million naira and two sureties in the same amount, and barred him from travelling out of Abuja.
