Federal High Court grants Agba Jalingo bail of N10m
Justice Shuaibu made the pronouncement while ruling on the matter between Federal Government and Agba Jalingo on Thursday in the court.
After pleading not guilty to the four count charges preferred against him bordering on terrorism, treasonable felony, cultism and attempts to topple the Cross River State government, Jalingo’s counsel, Attah Ochinke moved the motion for bail with the prosecution counsel, the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Tanko Ashang refusing to oppose it.
Furthermore, Jalingo must depose to an oath that he will be available in court while he and his surety must present two passport photographs. Ochinke in his motion, brought pursuant to sections 35 and 36 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended as well as sections 158, 161, 162 and 165 of the administration of criminal justice act 2015 urged the court to admit the defendant to bail relying on “his state of health as the special circumstance upon which the court may exercise its discretion.”
Justice Shuaibu said, “Defendant/applicant is hereby admitted to bail pending the trial of the offence charged in the sum of N10m and a surety in like sum. The surety must be resident within the jurisdiction and shall furnish the registrar of the court evidence of capacity to satisfy the bail bond in the event that the defendant/applicant jump bail.
