The bail conditions was determined and confirmed by the EFCC prosecutor, Mr Johnson Ojogeane and the defence counsel, Chief Chris Uche (SAN).

The date for hearing was fixed on July 4.

Justice Talba had stood down the ruling for the bail for 30 minutes to give both counsel time to work out the bail conditions.

Talba said that the prosecution during the last adjourned date had asked for stringent bail conditions due to the gravity of the offence, while the defence had asked for bail on liberal terms.

“The applicant has placed before this court sufficient material to warrant his bail,’’ the judge noted.

He also said that bail is a human right issue, bound and protected by the constitution.

Sen. Bala Mohammed is facing a 6-count charge bordering on false declaration of asset, abuse of office and graft to the tune of N864 million. (NAN)
