Justice Egwuatu had on Wednesday admitted the 12 applicants to various bail conditions while ruling in their applications filed to that effect.
The judge who held that there is no criminal charge against the 12 applicants admitted four of them to bail in the sum of N10 million each with two sureties in like sum, while the remaining eight were granted bail in the sum of N5 million with one surety each.
The four applicants who were granted N10 million bail are; Amudat Babatunde (AKA Lady K), Okoyemi Tajudeen, Abideen Shittu and Jamiu Oyetunji.
