Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of an Ikeja Special Offences Court, Lagos Thursday granted a N40m bail to a convicted internet fraudster, Amusa Azeez Abiodun, also known as ‘Amusa Abiodun’.
Justice Taiwo ruled that the defendant be granted temporary freedom if he is able to provide two sureties in like sum.
According to the Judge: “One of the sureties must be a land owner in Lagos while the other surety must be a close relative to the applicant, be it father, brother or brother-in-law.
“The person must be gainfully employed and must present a valid identification card, either a voter’s card, National Identification Card or international passport.”
Earlier, at the resumed hearing, counsel to the the defendant, Olanrewaju O. Ajanaku urged the court to grant bail to his client promising to ensure his presence in court for trial.
Ajanaku said that his client will not be a flight risk, while adding that the defendant’s father-in-law, one retired Assistant Inspector General of Police, (AIG) Bello, has a building worth over N90 million and is in court and ready to stand for him.
But opposing the bail application, the Counsel, representing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), S.O Daji, urged the court for an accelerated hearing on the case.
