Alleged Fellony: Leadership Reporters Get Bail by newpaparazzi(m): 10:18pm On Apr 30, 2013
ABUJA—The Abuja Division of the
Federal High Court, Tuesday,
allowed two Leadership
Newspaper reporters, Tony
Amokeodo and Chibuzor Ukaibe,
accused of forging a document
purported to have emanated from
the Presidency, to go home after
they deposited N1million.
They were released on bail after
they pleaded not guilty to a six-
count charge that was preferred
against them by the Federal
Government.
Aside depositing N500, 000 each,
trial Justice Ademola Adeniyi
ordered the accused persons to
provide two sureties who must
not only be an owner of a
verifiable landed property in
Abuja, but must swear an affidavit
of means.
The Federal Government had
alleged that the accused persons
who it charged alongside the
media outfit, committed felony to
wit: “forging of document titled
Bromide of the Presidential
Directive and place same on the
front page of Leadership
Newspaper of April 3, 2013.”

It's good that the court will help Nigerians to know what actually transpired in this squabble.

Is the Opposition using and paying the Media to blackmail the Government or that the Government is trying to silence the media from exposing its dark side
?

I assume the media will invoke the freedom of information act to ascertain the credibility of Leadership's presumed reliable "sourced document".
