How Bail Works In Nigeria
Nigerian federal courts set bail conditions that must not be excessive. A court can require the defendant or a surety to deposit money or other security, which is returned at the end of the trial. The Chief Judge can register and license bondspersons, and running a bail bond business without a license is an offence.
The Act lets the Chief Judge license bondspersons for federal courts and the FCT. Read from a copy of the Act hosted by policinglaw.info, not a government site.
