Justice Olabisi Akinlade of an Ikeja High Court, yesterday, granted bail to former Divisional Police Officer, DPO, of Pen Cinema, Agege, Mr. Segun Fabunmi, accused of shooting a youth to death during protests against fuel subsidy removal on January 9, last year.
.
Fabunmi was accused of killing a middle aged man, Adedamola Daramola, during the protests.
.
He was arraigned for murder on May 5, 2013.
.
While granting him bail due to his poor health, Justice Akinlade imposed a N250m bail condition with two sureties in like sum. She said the two sureties must be resident in Lagos and have three years tax clearance.
.
Akinlade added that one of them must have landed property worth N100 million while the other must be a director in either the state or federal civil service.
.
The trial judge held that based on medical evidence before the court, it was incumbent on her to grant the accused bail, for him to have access to special medical attention which he would not likely get in prison if denied bail.
People get away with murder nowadays in Nigeria that's how corrupt the system is. Crime happen everyday and yet nothing is done.
