Appeal Court varies terms in bail granted Dasuki

Colonel Mohammed Dasuki

Reprieve has come the way of detained National Security Adviser (NSA), Colonel Mohammed Dasuki (retired) as the Court of Appeal in Abuja acceded on Friday to his request for a variation in the terms attached to the bail earlier granted him.

In a unanimous judgement, three-man panel of the court expunged the requirement that Dasuki produced a Level 16 civil servant who must own a property worth N100 million within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Justice Stephen Adah, in the lead judgment, said it was wrong for courts to require civil servants to stand as surety when bail is granted.
