A High Court sitting in Kaduna,
Thursday in Kaduna, granted stringent bail conditions to a former Bureau Chief
with Vanguard Newspapers, Mr. Luka Binniyat, who is standing trial over alleged
false publication brought against him by the Kaduna State government.
Justice Bashir Sukola announced
that two sureties are to bring their international passports to be deposited in
the court with N10m each and a bank bond to that effect to the amount of money.
The case was adjourned to August
31, 2017.
The court was, however filled
with journalists, alongside top leaders of Southern Kaduna Peoples Union,
SOKAPU.
The leading counsel to the
accused, Alex Marama, told journalists after the court sitting that the bail
conditions were difficult but, however, said they were going to appeal for
reduction of the bail conditions.
Mr. Binniyat, who had been on
medication, still walked into the court room with the help of crutches, having
sustained injuries from an accident.
