According to Oshodi, the sureties had to have paid taxes to the Lagos State Government for three years and be employed for a profit.
In addition, he stated that the sureties needed to register with the Lagos State Bail Management System and provide a valid identity.
The court also expressed his satisfaction with the N1 million bail terms previously granted to Henry Isioma-Omoil, Emefiele’s co-defendant, who is currently facing a separate charge before Justice Olufunke Sule-Hamzat in a Yaba High Court.
Oshodi, however, said that the bail documents must be transferred to special offences court and it must also be registered in the Lagos State Bail Management System.
