A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Friday, October 4, granted a N100 million bail to the publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore.

The court in its ruling said the complainant has not been able to prove that the applicant will jump bail or would interfere with his trial.

Falling out of the bail condition for Sowore, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, said the publisher would produce two sureties - in like sum - who are owners of landed property within the court's jurisdiction.

Sowore is also expected to deposit his travel passport to the court till the end of his trial and is not allowed to travel out of the Federal Capital Territory throughout his trial period.

Throughout his trial, he is also not permitted to address the press and defying any of the conditions will give room for the court to make necessary decisions.
