Alleged Terrorism: Court Fixes Date to Decide on ‘Eze Ndigbo’s Bail Application

A High Court in Lagos State fixed Friday, July 28, for ruling in a bail application filed by Frederick Nwajagu (aka” Eze Ndigbo of Ajao Estate”).

The presiding judge, Justice Yetunde Adesanya, on Tuesday, July 25, fixed Friday for the ruling after listening to arguments from both counsels.

Justice Adesanya subsequently adjourned the case until Friday for a ruling on the bail application.

Nwajagu was arraigned on May 9, on a nine-count charge, including an attempt to commit acts of terrorism, financing terrorism, participating in terrorism, and meeting to support an illegal entity.

The Prosecution Counsel, Jonathan Ogunsakin, informed the court that the case was for argument on the bail application.

However, counsel to the defendant, E. C. Obiagu, SAN, told the court that the defendant’s bail application was based on two reliefs.

Nwajaju, charged with terrorism offences, had prayed the court to admit him to bail on liberal terms.

He told the court that he was not a flight risk.
