A Federal High Court in Abuja, on Friday, admitted a Nollywood Actress, Angela Okorie, to a N5 million bail with one surety in like sum for allegedly cyberbullying Mercy Johnson-Okojie, who is also an actress.
Justice Emeka Nwite, in a ruling on Okorie’s bail application moved by her lawyer, Earnest Nwoye, held that though the prosecution opposed the request, there was no concrete evidence before the court to prove that the defendant would jump bail if granted.
“Therefore, I am minded to grant the bail in the interest of justice,” Justice Nwite said, noting that bail is at the discretion of the court which must be exercised judicially and judiciously.
The judge admitted Okorie to N5 million bail with one surety, who must depose to affidavit of means and must be a level 13 civil servant.
He warned that the surety must produce his appointment letter and letter of their last promotion in the service.
The judge ordered Okorie’s and her surety to submit two passport photographs to the court registrar and that the residence of the surety must be verified by the registrar.
Justice Nwite, who adjourned the matter until March 23 for trial, ordered Okorie to be remanded at the Suleja Correctional Centre pending the perfection of her bail conditions.
