JUST IN: Court Rejects FG Moves to Remand Sen. Natasha in Prison Custody, Grants her N50m Bail
•Slates Sep 23 for trial
A High Court sitting at Maitama, Abuja, has granted bail to the suspended Senator for Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, to the tune of N50million.
Justice Chizoba Orji, ruling on her bail application, rejected the Federal Government objection to the defendant who was arraigned on a three-count charge.
The prosecution counsel had asked the court to remand the defendant in prison custody pending the determination of the case against her.
But Justice Orji held that she found no reason to deny the defendant bail, saying there was sufficient evidence that she is willing to face her trial.
Consequently, aside from the N50m, the court held that the defendant must produce one surety who must be a person of integrity that owns a landed property in Abuja.
The court based its decision on section 36 of the 1999 Constitution, as amended, as well as section 163 and 165 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015.
