A High Court in Abuja has granted social media influencer
and aphrodisiac entrepreneur, Hauwa Saidu, also known as Jaruma bail.
Jaruma was arrested and remanded in prison for alleged
defamation and false publication against billionaire, Ned Nwoko.
Nwoko had accused Jaruma of publishing falsehoods on her
Instagram page against him and his wife, Regina Daniels.
Justice Ismaila Abdullahi on Friday, ruling on Jaruma’s bail
application noted that her remand should not be seen as a punishment to the
defendant.
The Judge warned all parties involved in the matter to
refrain from actions that could be considered prejudicial to the case.
Judge Abdullahi said, “The court did not remand Jaruma in
custody as a punitive means to penalise the defendant but to make her present
and answer to her case. By this, I shall be quick to point out that the charge
against the defendant is bailable but not ordinary.
“I hereby grant her bail on the following conditions: That
the surety must be a level 12 civil servant working within the Federal Capital
Territory.”
Judge Abdullahi further adjourned the case till February 23 for a hearing.
