The Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye,is set to get a breath of fresh air after he was on Thursday granted the bail by the trial judge in the gun-running allegation against him.
Justice Nasir Ajana of Lokoja High Court based his ruling on the argument of defense counsel, Mike Ozekhome (SAN) that the continued detention of Senator Melaye put his health condition, which he said was “deteriorating,” in jeopardy. The learned counsel also stated that there was nothing to show that the applicant would jump bail if granted.
Ajana therefore admitted Melaye, who was not in court but on hospital admission in Abuja, to bail, with one surety for N10m.
