Dino Melaye, senator representing
Kogi west, has regained freedom after over two weeks in detention.
On Friday, a high court in Abuja
granted bail to the lawmaker on health grounds.
In his ruling, Yusuf Halilu, the
judge, said Melaye should be allowed to attend to his health as he could not be
arraigned on a stretcher or on his hospital bed.
Halilu ordered the senator to
present three sureties who reside and have properties in Abuja, emphasisng that
one of the sureties must be the clerk of the national assembly who would write
provide a letter attesting that Melaye will always be available for trial.
After fulfilling his bail
conditions, Melaye filed a suit against the inspector-general of police (IGP),
seeking that the police do not arrest him.
