Alleged $9.7m Terrorism Financing: Bauchi Commissioner Adamu, Three Others Get N100m Bail Each
…to report to DSS in Bauchi every Monday
Respite has come the way of the Finance Commissioner in Bauchi State, Yakubu Adamu, and three others accused of financing terrorism with about £9.7million as a Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday granted each bail at N100 million.
Justice Mohammed Umar, in a ruling, held that Adamu and his co-defendants – Balarabe Abdullahi Ilelah, Aminu Mohammed Bose, and Kabiru Yahaya Mohammed – placed sufficient materials before the court for it to exercise its discretion in their favour.
Justice Umar ordered the defendants to produce two sureties each, one of whom must be a permanent secretary and the other a director in the civil service.
The judge ordered the defendants to deposit their international passports with the court registry and for them to report to the Department of State Services (DSS) office in Bauchi State every Monday until the case is determined.
He adjourned the matter until February 26 for the commencement of the trial.
