The Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday granted former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, and his son, Abdulaziz, bail in the sum of N200 million each over charges bordering on alleged terrorism and unlawful possession of firearms.
Justice Joyce Abdulmalik admitted the defendants to bail after hearing arguments from their lead counsel, Joseph Daudu (SAN).
However, the court ordered that they be remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre pending the perfection of their bail conditions.
As part of the conditions, Malami and his son are required to produce two sureties each in like sum. One of the sureties must own landed property in either Maitama or Asokoro, Abuja.
The judge further directed that the title documents of the properties be deposited with the Deputy Chief Registrar of the court, alongside valid international passports. The sureties are also to depose to affidavits of means and submit two recent passport photographs.
In addition, both defendants were ordered to deposit their international passports and recent passport photographs with the court.
