Do some of you really know the meaning of bail?
Most of you are calling it payment of the money he was charged for!

We know its d soft copy of the cash. Either way he's gonna produce it

MyMouth:
600million for eating a piece of paper Sorry..... I will pass, I rather stay hungry!

Yes o.. The days of impunity and lawlessness are over and long gone..

byteHead:
Altogether thats 700million naira. Kuje prisons is now metuh's new home.

Get informed please. He is not required to pay any money.

modath:
Nurse eh,

He will be cursing the day he set his eyes on Hero & for not using an untraceable proxy account to receive "Blood Money" from the office of the NSA!!

Where on earth will he get 3 sureties ?? Mehn these Judges be vexing gan oo

Nurse residency for Kuje go tay small.

He is the PDP spokesman remember? I don't expect him to have any problem getting the sureties.

Saurab:
Too bad for him, his bail will soon total 1bn. I won't be surprised if he is been charged with another offence.

If they like let them charge him with one million offences. He will still get bail. Intelligent people can tell a witch-hunt when they see one. It's getting more obvious.
Buhari should make sure he clings unto power because if he leaves office it's going to be hot for him.

IVORY2009:


The federal Govt is behind this case no doubt, I dey laugh na turn by turn

Of course it's turn by turn. Buhari will have his day eventually.

I love Buhari

bwahahahahahahah

Of course you love him. I hope you know what it means to live in a dictatorship. It might be your turn one day. You don't have to be a politician to have your right violated.

MabraO:
To the best of my knowledge I believe Metuh bail is total 1bn..
Wow!! U steal #400mil u pay back with a billion
Good investment

He is not required to pay cash. Don't get too excited.

Most of them are morons. They think he is required to pay the money.

kay29000:
Pardon my ignorance people, I want to understand this bail thing. Does it mean Metuh has to pay 600 million cash? And will he get it back at any point? Please someone should enlighten me. Thanks in advance.

He is not required to pay any cash. His sureties are required to deposit documents for properties that are worth at least the bail money. This is to guarantee that he will appear in court when required. If he jumps bail, that is if he fails to appear, the properties are forfeited.
Having said that, it's still not easy meeting the difficult bail conditions the court gave. How many people can boast of properties worth 600m Naira? But he is PDP spokesman. So his party would provide sureties for him.

Love Machine:
The court is supposed to be an independent arm of government without being teleguided by buhari.

Of course. But not in Nigeria.

akinsbaba2015:
. The sureties are depositing with the courts title deeds of their landed property at a location specified by the court, all these documents will be verified by all parties, EFCC, the court registrar and the ministry of lands in that particular jurisdiction. Its no tea party at all.

But have you understood the basic meaning of the bail Metuh was granted? He will not pay any money yet.
From your excited reaction, you think he will have to go pay 1billion naira to the court. But that is not the case.

sunnyflakes:
If you are a true democrat, you won't be here celebrating the defeat of democracy. In law, all persons are innocent until they are proven guilty by a court of law. Late President Yaradua gave life to the rule of law, a phenomenon President Buhari is fast throwing to the mud. how can a man be accused of taking about 400million and u place his bail at 700million.

The simple moral in all this is; steal as much as u can while you have the opportunity. So you can meet bail conditions anytime any day.

Metu can go to jail for the rest of his life if found guilty.

But the judiciary need to, very urgently, extricate itself from executive manipulation so that people will continue have hope in the judiciary. The most appalling of their evident retrogression, being the way they handled electoral tribunals across the country. Gush! it was too clear they were reading a script obviously written by the Buhari led federal government.

The judges of good conscience need to take gauntlet and move the judiciary out of this obvious judicial doldrum and quagmire. Sincerely, justice at the moment in Nigeria is at its lowest ebb.

Thanks man. Majority of the people are too dumb to understand what is going on. The future is not looking good for this country.

Okay. Thanks for breaking it down for me.

Has Falae returned the N100m yet?
Thunder will strike him if he uses Yoruba to play ethnic card when he's grabbed, because he can see and hear what's happening now, the next thing is to go and pay the money back to Anini or straight to the Efcc.

I think he will still be required to put in at least 10% of that in cash and the property too. That's how it's done here, and I believe it's the same in Nigeria.

The mass ignorance on nairaland is alarming.. Even Tonyebarcanister, a dude I once respected feels metuh will have to cough out 1 billion in cash to leave Kuje prison. How pathetic.. To them they believe this is another way to recoup the alleged stolen money.. Some even feel this is a new method to finance the budget.. Lol

He is not required to drop anything.. Whoever is signing for him will have his account frozen should metuh abscond from the country and jump the bail

See the way you just answered the guy confidently as if you even know what you are saying

Have you seen his bail conditions or this is the same with everyone? I can almost swear that I've heard people talk about paying to bail out their loved ones out of nigerian jail. If this is true nigeria must have the best bail condition in the world. I hope someone can shine more light on this.

Don't confuse bailing one from jail in police station to the bail in a court room... The Nigerian police has abused the process by collecting cash from ignorant citizens. Cash that are never returned and are taken as fine for crime commited and shared among greedy and corrupt policemen...but you dare not try this in the court room where everyone is learned. In court money is paid and property confiscated only when the accuse jumps bail. All you need do as a surety is to drop relevant documents to the court

Frankiss44:

Look how you mentioned me as if you know what I said.

You don't bail out of court, but bail out of jail. All over the world judges set the bail.
But my question is, if bail that involves cash in Nigeria is legal or not. If cash is not required to bail criminals out of jails, why are the police making it as part of the law? This is not N50 that's collected along the road, what I hear is in thousands.

Just saw it now, bail is free in Nigeria. But he ain't out of the wood yet. Who's going to show up with documents on a billion naira property, only to find themselves explaining where they got the money from? And who says there are no more charges on the way? He should have just paid the N400m to avoid this.

BuddhaPalm:


From your previous responses, it's already clear to me that comprehension isn't one of your strong-points.

In the post you quoted, I said this:



Furthermore, all you said up there is nonsense - all thanks to your comprehension handicap.

Next time, I'll suggest the use of Google Translate - into Yoruba - if that will make any difference. Or perhaps, an interpreter...

. Nonentities like you only resort to personality attacks in the face of superior arguments. Logic-zero, reasoning-zero. Wailing wailers and supporters of the corrupt elite. The nation does not seek to satisfy your fraudulent cravings. Imagine what you were even saying that Dasuki was being witch hunted, I maintain that unreasonable folks like you will always have one reason or the other why those who have defrauded the nation should not be called to question. In your dreams, all those who stole before Jonathan must first be questioned before we can ask him and his gang of looters to return the stolen funds in their possession. I won't join issues with you any further as you continue to wallow in your delusion. GOOD DAY

All dis for criticizing a supposedly democratic govt even in his capacity as d mouth piece of d main opposition party...
well dis is wat u get wen u elect an illiterate old soldier as presisnt in a democracy...
bubu u r a joke of a president; i wail for d sake of d educated ones among us

. Please wail for the number of years the looters will spend in jail when convicted.

. The only fear public office holders should have is the consequence of their "lootacracy". As long you don't make yourself a witch, no successive government can witch hunt you. My brother, be less concerned about the future of PMB, he's already written his name in gold. PDP should be really worried about its dwindling fortunes, they were the architect of their misfortunes.

From your excited reaction, you think he will have to go pay 1billion naira to the court. But that is not the case.

. I don't think you read my response, the sureties will have to place in the custody of thr court landed properties valued at the bail sum. Please always read the pronouncement of the judge and be sufficiently guided. The judge granted him bail and on very stringent terms. That's not open to debate. My excited reaction is that this country will ultimately be a land where the majority in and out of public office will leave within their legitimate earnings.

Hey there i am 35 yr old from CA, and would like to become a Bails Bonds Agent or bounty hunter. Can anyone here help me out and let me know what i need to do exactly?

It's been a pain in the butt trying to find out all the exact info that i need in becoming a bail bonds agent, if anyone can help me out with information it would be great. Thanks!
