Seun Egbegbe all smiles after he was granted bail by a court in Lagos
Nigerian filmmaker, Seun Egbegbe has been spotted smiling
sheepishly after he was granted bail by a Federal High Court sitting in
Ikoyi.
He was granted N5 million bail after his bail hearing was adjourned
to today, Friday 24, due to the failure of the police to file a counter
affidavit.
Justice Oluremi Oguntoyinbo who presided over the case ruled Mr.
Seun should be released from prison once he meets his bail
requirements.
"Both accused (Seun and his accomplice) should be granted bail
of N5million with two sureties each in a sum of N2.5million. That is
four sureties altogether. One of the sureties must be a civil servant
who has attained level 16 while the other surety must be a land owner in
any part of Lagos metropolis.
"The landowner must submit Certificate of Ownership of the
landed property and while the civil servant must submit his
international passport to the court. The four sureties must swear to an
affidavit while the house and office addresses and telephone number will
be verified by the court," she added.
Seun was in early February arrested while attempting to dupe two Bureau De Change operators of N10 million in Gbagada General hospital.
