Is the judge a paedophile like these criminals or why should he grant them bail? Even at a paltry sum of 200,000 Naira. What a shame judge!
These brothers should be kept until the case has been proven otherwise. This is a serious act that should be met with stiffest of punishment.
Hello Nigerians! Make sure this Judge is prosecuted if the boys jump bail.

Deep Soul:

Gamine:

This is crazy, and they sentence a woman to 75yrs for chicken change.

VALIDATOR:

The report couldn't even tell us the ages of the rrapped girls. I really hope the STI is not HIV inclusive.

This often happens as a result of young girls accepting seemingly harmless gifts from grown boys and adult men. Some men's philosophy is "Nothing goes for nothing".
Whatever your socio-economic status, if you have a girl child,make sure you do everything to discourage her from asking grown boys for money. Teach her to develop a habit of always reporting any nice harmless gift given to her by anybody outside your nuclear family. By so doing,you can see the red flag before things get out of hand.

Why wait till Oct 25th ? They were supposed to be released to the mob / community people
for disciplinary action with immediate alacrity.
If they survived that then let the judge now pronounce his own judgement.
