BREAKING: Judge Grants Fayose N50m Bail

Lagos Federal High Court judge, Mojisola Olatoregun, has granted bail to the former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose.

The judge granted bail to Mr Fayose in the sum of ₦50 million with two sureties who must issue a ₦50 million bond in a reputable bank as well as possess three years tax clearance.

She also directed that the former governor deposit his international passport with the court.

Earlier, Kanu Agabi, Mr Fayose’s lawyer, urged the court to grant bail to his client based on self-recognizance on the ground that he voluntarily submitted himself to the EFCC.

But the commission opposed the bail request, saying that on the day Mr Fayose arrived at the EFCC headquarters, he was accompanied by hoodlums who were willing to attack their officials.
