A Chief Magistrate Court in Abuja on Friday granted social media critic, VeryDarkMan, bail of N2 million after he was arraigned for unauthorised use of police uniform.
The court ruled that the sureties are to provide means of identification and depose to affidavit to provide the defendant during trial at all times, according to VeryDarkMan’s lawyer, Deji Ayedanju.
The lawyer further said the court ordered that the prosecutor should verify the sureties’ addresses while the sureties will also provide their utility bills.
Mr Adeyanju stated that the court also ruled that VeryDarkMan will depose to an affidavit that he will be available at all times during trial.
He said, “Two million, two sureties in like terms. Sureties to deposit international passports, sureties to provide means of Identification. Sureties to depose to affidavit to provide the defendant during trial at all times.
“Prosecutor to verify sureties’ address. Sureties to provide utility bills, defendant to depose to affidavit to be available at all times during trial. Sureties to reside within the Court’s jurisdiction, particularly Abuja municipal.”
VeryDarkMan was detained on Thursday after honouring police invitation.
The detention came hours after he tendered a public apology to the police for using their uniform in a viral video where he described himself as a chief superintendent of police of the online division.
