I am very impressed with the court in this matter. But I have been wondering; why did the government go after IWU? undecided This is Nigeria.

I dont understand this Iwu's case... Is it because he blew the trumpet of Presidential results during Elections or Does he really know who won.... How come all these years they didn't know of his dealings even EFFC not knowing that he has been involved in deals that seems corrupt... The judge too is a suspect!!.. hmmmm.

MRsettingz:
pls lawyers in the house,
What do they mean by 1billion bail?
Does that mean he has to pay the amount to our court, or they mean his suretties must have property worth of the amount?
No. He has to present people who are worth that amount as sureties so that when he runs, those people would forfeit the money. They must give evidence that they're worth such amount and that they have other things required by the court.

Amicusacuriae:
it means that he deposits the money with court so that in the event that he runs away the Court takes possession of the money and hold the sureties responsible till they are able to provide him.
If he however makes himself available to all the court proceedings without jumping bail the money will be returned to him.
If you need any legal document, I am at your service. 08124890654
No. You're not right. His sureties must just be worth that sum. They must show evidence that they have such money in case he runs away. They will forfeit it if he runs. The cash deposit can only be made if the court specifically asks for it, but once you hear "2 sureties in like sum", it does not involve cash deposit, but evidence that they have that sum.
And yeah, your advert on this forum violates the rule of professional conduct. The art of law is not an art of buying and selling where you advertise your wares. Be careful.
If what you also mean by your name is "Friend of the court", then it is "Amicus curiae" not what you spelt above.

Re: Maurice Iwu Meets N1 Billion Bail, Regains Freedom After A Week In Jail by Angelfrost(m): 9:33am On Aug 19, 2019
Hmmm... Quick question to the legal luminaries in the house: Where does the bail money go to?... I'm quite interested in where that 1 billion naira ends up.

The court should rather corncerned about how Iwu is able to pop out 1billion naira, is it the same public office that made him so rich like that, if his tax payment doesn't corrolate with is earnings or assets, he should be locked up back but this is Nigeria.
Does your tax payment correlate with all your earnings?

Learn how bail works before offering criticism.

I can assure you that it was tevandiwirk of the present government to ridicule the prof for nitbdoing their bus during the election. Would the same thing be done to prof jega for doing their bidding? Useless government ran by useless people. Sectional prosecution on loading......

Bail granted to the sum of 1 billion doesn't mean the sum will be paid.

He needs to be probed ontop the 1m sef! Where did he get the money from. I dont think there should be a case anymore. He is obviously guilty of the allegation levelled against him.

Simi si naija o! shocked them charge you for 1.23b curruption case and placed a 1b bail on you and you see the money pay. Haha! Thief!
