Woman Who Allegedly Threatened IGP, Seyi Tinubu Gets N10m Bail
Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court Abuja, has granted Olamide Thomas, who allegedly issued death threats to the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun and Seyi Tinubu, to a N10 million bail with one surety in like sum.
In a ruling on Thomas’ bail application, Justice Nwite said there was no concrete evidence placed before the court by the prosecution that the defendant would jump bail.
Justice Nwite held that where the accused person would not jump bail or interfere with the trial, it is in the interest of justice for the court to grant the bail request.
The judge, who ordered the surety to depose to affidavit of means, also directed the surety to present three years tax clearance certificate.
He said that the surety must reside within the jurisdiction of the court.
Justice Nwite equally ordered the defendant and the surety to deposit two recent passport photographs with the registrar of the court and the address of the surety should be verified.
The judge consequently adjourned the matter until Feb. 18 for trial.
The Defendant was arrested on allegations bordering on harassing and threatening the IGP, Kayode Egbetokun, Seyi Tinubu, and the Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, in a social media post.
