The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Monday granted bail to former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, in the sum of N100 million.
Delivering the ruling, Justice Joyce Abdulmalik held that the former governor must provide one surety in like sum as part of the bail conditions.
The judge stated that the surety must be a resident of either Maitama or Asokoro in Abuja and must submit the original Certificate of Occupancy of a landed property to the court registry.
Justice Abdulmalik further ruled that the surety must be a federal civil servant not below Grade Level 17 and provide evidence of salary payments covering at least three months.
According to the court, the submitted documents must also be authenticated through a letter issued by the surety’s bank manager within the court’s jurisdiction.
“The surety must reside within Maitama or Asokoro and deposit the original title documents of the property before the court,” the judge ruled.
She added that, “The surety must equally be a federal civil servant not below Grade Level 17 with proof of salary payments for at least three months.”
Further details on the matter are expected later.
