The application for bail moved by the Defence Counsel, H. N. Dashe (Esq) in the suit titled: “The People of Plateau State vs. Samuel Bature”, was not objected to by the Prosecution led by the Honourable Attorney General of the State, Philemon Dafi (Esq).

 

However, the Court granted the bail on the conditions that the Defendant would provide two sureties, resident within Jos-Bukuru metropolis, and that, while one of the sureties would be a Community Leader, the other must be a Clergy.
