WHAT IT MEANS WHEN THE COURT GRANTS BAIL IN THE SUM OF 20M, 50M, 30, 000 OR ANY OTHER AMOUNT.

You see generally bail is a contract/agreement between a defendant (commonly called an accused person) and the court that the defendant will have a temporary liberty (right to move freely) pending his trial and shall appear in court throughout the trial. The agreement is normally in written form and is called a “bail bond”

The bail bond normally stipulates that the defendant cannot be released until he brings a surety (someone who will assure the court that the defendant would always be in court). The terms may also include a requirement that the surety must be someone who has money worth certain amount, example 50M. THIS HOWEVER DOES NOT MEAN that the defendant SHALL pay the 50M as a condition for his release. No! What it means is that if the defendant jumps bail (fails to appear in court when required and as agreed upon in the bail bond without cogent reason), his surety shall forfeit the money. But if he appears in court all the time, the money remains his own.

By reason of the foregoing, whenever you hear that someone had been granted 10M bail, know that what the court means is that anyone who is to stand as a surety to the defendant must afford 10M and shall forfeit the 10M Naira if the defendant jumps bail. Simple!

When a court grants bail in a specific amount, like 20 million, 50 million, or even 30,000, it means that the accused person can be released from custody as long as they pay that amount of money to the court. This payment serves as a form of guarantee that the accused will return for their court appearances. If they fail to appear, they risk forfeiting the bail amount and possibly facing additional legal consequences. The specific amount set by the court depends on various factors, including the severity of the charges and the defendant's flight risk.

This is from experience: I had a court case, granted a bail of N5m, my surety just had to present all the required documents. Aside from what we spent on lawyers and little expenses here and there, we didn't have to pay the bail sum. The case was later struck out, though, by the judge even without a single day of hearing.

Nobody deposits a dime. Stop arguing what you know nothing about

You are confusing surety in like sum with bail money..

Bail could be in three forms: Monetary,
just Surety in like sum; or Both

This is why most stringent bail conditions are difficult to meet esp the both.

How will the surety deposit #20m with Court registrar or clerk as the case may be... ? Will the surety deposit into their private bank account?

Wrong.. the money is deposited with Court registrar or clerk as the case may be..

It's not after the person defaulted.

At the end of the trial the money is returned as long as the bailed person did not jump the bail.

God bless you abundantly. This is more explanatory

Granting someone bail at any amount simply means that the person who will stand as surety to the accused must be ready to pay that amount when the accused runs away before the conclusion of the case, meaning the surety is not even paying any money before the release of the accused...even cubana doesn't know the meaning of bail, hence he wouldn't have posted that "money na water "...no one paid any money...it is simply a condition should the accused runs away

The bail bond is not just to ensure his attendance to court of the defendant only but an undertaken is extracted that he will not commit any offence or interfere with investigation (if any) or witnesses.

I don't know why Bobrisky's bail conditions weren't disclosed to the public.

Oga, Bobrisky's case doesn't need a bail bond, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced asap, no long story no wasting of time or resources...which is why his jail time is short, but you see that big ode named cubana chief priest...his own jail time will be as long as third mainland bridge for wasting the courts time because evidence of him spraying money is littered in cyber space.

So the court should be going up and down telling us that the bail money for so and so case has been deposited??

The stated amount is usually deposited with the court by the surety but will be returned in full if all the conditions for bail were met.

Bro this is Nigeria. When Cubans chief priest said money na water, he knows what he was talking about. Your analysis is only for the average Nigerian. If cubana will definitely be jailed,he won't be granted bail. The moment bobrisky wasn't granted bail I knew he would go to jail
Once again this is Nigeria

Do you want to bet that he will no be jailed? Being granted a bail doesn't mean you are less guilty.

Being granted bail is within the right of an accused except if for serious offences like murder, terrorism or the rest.

Bobrisky was granted bail.
Get your fact right. The question is was he able to meet the bail condition?

Being granted bail DOES not mean an accused has escaped jail sentence.

Bob was not granted bail, as a matter of fact he was a foolish confused fellow who was misguided.
