Adoke

An Abuja High Court has granted former Attorney General of the Federation, Mr Mohammed Adoke bail in the sum of N50m with the requirement that he provides one surety.

The court, in a ruling that was delivered by Justice Idris Kutigi, also admitted Adoke’s co-defendants- Aliyu Abubakar and Rasky Gbinigie- to bail pending the determination of corruption allegations against them.

While it gave the 2nd defendant, Abubakar bail in the sum of N50m, it granted the 3rd defendant, Gbinijie bail in the sum of N10m.

The sureties must be responsible citizens that must depose affidavits of means. They must be resident within the jurisdiction of the court and must own verifiable landed property worth the bail sum.

The court also ordered the sureties to tender their three years tax clearance certificates.

The court seized international passports of all the defendants, warning them not to travel out of the country without permission.
