IPOB Spy: Gloria Okolie Drags IGP, Malami, Others To Court Over Illegal Detention
Okolie had been held for months by the Nigeria Police Force’s IRT squad on suspicion of spying for IPOB.
On November 23, 2021, the Federal High Court in Abuja granted Okolie bail in the sum of N10 million with two sureties.
Justice Taiwo Taiwo in his ruling admitted her to bail with sureties one of whom must be at least a level-14 Civil Servant while the other must own landed property and must have lived at the present address for at least 2 years.
Okolie’s counsel, Ihensekhien Samuel, while reacting to the bail conditions commended the judge for admitting her to bail though the terms were stringent but they would apply for variation in due course.
Okolie and her co-defendant remained in Suleja Correctional Centre custody pending the fulfilment of their bail conditions.
