Court Grants Edo PDP Candidate Bail by EmmaOgbu(m): 6:16pm On Mar 03, 2015
A Federal High Court sitting in Benin on Tuesday granted bail
to a Peoples Democratic Party candidate for Egor
constituency, Edo State House of Assembly, Mr. Nosa Adams.
Adams was granted bail following a fundamental right
application filed by his Counsel, Kingsley Obamogie.
It would be recalled that an Egor Magistrate Court had on
November 5, 2014, remanded Adams, at the Oko Prison, over
the alleged shooting of three delegates at Aunty Maria Primary
School, venue of the party’s ward congress.
The PDP candidate was arraigned on a four count of alleged
conspiracy to commit felony and attempted murder.
The presiding magistrate, Igho Braimoh, had said since the
court had no jurisdiction to entertain the case, it also had no
jurisdiction to grant bail to the accused.
He, however, secured the party’s ticket while in prison custody.
But the presiding judge, Justice A. M. Liman, granted the
suspect bail based on an argument that he had been in
custody for almost four months.
The bail was in the sum of N2 million and two sureties, who
must be property owners in the state.
Obamogie had earlier urged the court to invoke the Doctrine of
Necessity to grant his client bail and tendered a medical report
on his state of health, adding that the continued detention of his client infringed on his fundamental rights.
But the Counsel to the state government, Oluwole Iyamu, who
opposed the bail application, said the suspect had been
remanded by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Oluwole also said the application ought to have been filed at
the State High Court, rather than a federal court.
