Just In : Court Grants Bail To Two Journalists Remanded Over Petition By Kwara Gov’s Spokesperson
A Magistrate court sitting in Ilorin has granted bail to the two siblings; Dare Akogun and Abdulrasheed Akogun remanded on Friday for allegedly defaming and inciting the public against the government of Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
The Magistrate, Senior Magistrate Muhammed Ibraheem granted the bail application after reviewing the offenses and granting the applicants with a sum of #500, 000 each and the provision of two surety who are known resident of the area of the jurisdiction of the court.
The office of the commissioner of police was primarily the state prosecutor in the case before it was taken over by the office of the state attorney general, with Abdulmumeen Busari leading the legal team.
Barrister Busari had argued that the bail motion was served while the office of the commissioner for police was the counsel and would rather the court grant them 48 hours to review the bail motion.
