hmm if you say so, but not too RMD, Desmond or pat attah..

Embattled Bayelsa State Governor, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha got a reprieve Tuesday as the Southwark Crown Court in London granted him bail. He is likely to be freed from Her Majesty’s Prison in Brixton Wednesday.

The trial judge, at the appellate court, Justice Rivlin, granted the bail after set conditions were fulfilled by Alamieyeseigha, who has been facing a three-count charge of money laundering to the tune of £1.8 million since September 28.

The governor’s bail is coming at a time Bayelsa Deputy Governor, Chief Jonathan Goodluck, says that despite Alamieyeseigha’s travail the people of the state are not desirous of his replacement.

Daily Sun gathered that Alamieyeseigha met the bail conditions Tuesday, when Mr. Terry Waya, a notable Nigerian international businessman and a friend of the governor, deposited the £500,000 bail bond in the court’s account.
Waya confirmed to Daily Sun on phone Tuesday that the bail process went well with the Bayelsa governor satisfying the judge’s conditions. He said that Alamieyeseigha would leave the prison Wednesday.

Asked why the governor was not released immediately the conditions were met, Mr Waya explained that he had instructed his bankers, NatWest Bank, St. Johns Wood branch, to write a draft in the sum of £500,000 to the court but the court insisted on physical cash being paid into its account after which instruction would be given to the Brixton Prison to release the governor.

"My bank wrote to confirm that I deposited the money. In fact, the judge instructed the solicitors to expedite action and pay money as quickly as possible into the account, while the bail papers have been signed and in our custody," Waya said.
A letter dated October 11 and in which NatWest Bank informed Justice Rivlin of the request by Waya that £500,000 draft be paid to the Justice’s clerk and signed by Elizabeth Prior and Haydn Williams, Manager and Assistant Manager respectively of the St. Johns Wood branch, confirmed that Waya had sufficient funds to cover the draft from funds in his personal account held at the branch.
With his release on bail, Governor Alamieyeseigha will still not return to Nigeria as his main criminal trial for money laundering stands adjourned till November 3.
