Wrong.. the money is deposited with Court registrar or clerk as the case may be..

It's not after the person defaulted.

At the end of the trial the money is returned as long as the bailed person did not jump the bail.
How will the surety deposit #20m with Court registrar or clerk as the case may be... ? Will the surety deposit into their private bank account?

Let me add my voice

Granting someone bail at any amount simply means that the person who will stand as surety to the accused must be ready to pay that amount when the accused runs away before the conclusion of the case, meaning the surety is not even paying any money before the release of the accused...even cubana doesn't know the meaning of bail, hence he wouldn't have posted that "money na water "...no one paid any money...it is simply a condition should the accused runs away


I bet 99.9 % of nairalanders do not know this
Educate us on the other version of bail at the police station that is free but yet, you cough out money before leaving the station

In the Nigerian legal system, when a court grants bail of 10,000,000 naira, the accused person (defendant) or their representative must pay this amount to the court before being released from custody. This payment is a prerequisite for securing temporary freedom pending trial or other legal proceedings.

The relevant legal authority governing bail in Nigeria includes provisions from the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015 and the Nigerian Constitution. Specifically, Section 161 of the ACJA outlines the principles and procedures related to bail. Here are key points supported by this legal authority:

1. Bail Conditions

Section 161(1) of the ACJA states that bail shall be granted to a defendant upon application, except in circumstances where it is deemed necessary to deny bail based on specific grounds as outlined in Section 162.

2. Bail Amount

Section 161(5) of the ACJA empowers the court to determine the amount of bail to be paid by the defendant. This determination takes into account factors such as the nature of the offense, the circumstances of the case, and the financial capacity of the defendant.

3. Payment of Bail

Based on the provisions of the ACJA, when bail is granted for a specified amount (e.g., 10,000,000 naira), the defendant or their representative is required to pay this amount to the court before release from custody.

4. Legal Authority

- Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015, Section 161(5) says:

"In fixing the amount of any recognizance or bail, the court shall consider the nature of the offence, the circumstances of the case, the defendant's character, antecedents, means, position and any other factors which in the opinion of the court it considers relevant, and shall fix the amount of any recognizance or bail at a level that would ensure the defendant's attendance at trial and compliance with any other conditions considered necessary."

5. Constitutional Backing

The principles of bail in Nigeria are also supported by the Nigerian Constitution, particularly with respect to the fundamental rights of individuals. The Constitution underscores the presumption of innocence and the right to liberty pending trial, except in limited circumstances where denial of bail is justified by specific legal grounds.

Therefore, in summary, when a court grants bail of 10,000,000 naira in Nigeria, the defendant is required to pay this amount to the court as directed by the judicial order, in accordance with the provisions of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act and constitutional principles governing bail.

Don't let jealousy blind you, Chiefpriest has always used "Money na Water" as his end signature on most of his recent posts.

Bro this is Nigeria. When Cubans chief priest said money na water, he knows what he was talking about. Your analysis is only for the average Nigerian. If cubana will definitely be jailed,he won't be granted bail. The moment bobrisky wasn't granted bail I knew he would go to jail
Once again this is Nigeria
Bobrisky pleaded guilty and hence no need for further processing. He goes to jail immediately on conviction.

You didn't even wait for anybody to challenge you before writing off circa 100% of us here...chai...Nigerians and blind arrogance cheesy

Because there was a topic earlier where cubana said " money na water" ...and after going through the comments from nairalanders, I was convinced that they actually do not know the meaning of bail...infact, it was that topic that motivated the creation of this particular topic

No. Counterfeiting was not part of the charges against him, and the EFCC cannot prove that the Naira was real.

Now, they can amend the charges to include counterfeiting, but can they prove that the Naira was counterfeit? It goes beyond him just saying it. It must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

Do we have laws against movie prop Naira notes?🤷‍♂️

SO WAS HE SHOOTING A MOVIE WHEN HE SPRAYED THE NOTES?

USE YOUR FLAT HEAD.....HE WILL BE ASKED IN COURT TO STATE IF THE MONEY WAS REAL OR COUNTERFEIT

WHATEVER ANSWER HE GIVES HE IS FVCKED

IF HE SAYS IT'S REAL HE WILL BE CHARGED

IF HE SAYS IT'S FAKE HE WILL BE CHARGED FOR COUNTERFEITING

The court will verify that you have that money somewhere. If it is property, the baillifs will physically visit the property and confirm ownership through neighbourhood search. You do not need to tender documents and have them retained in the court's repository

If he says its fake you can't charge him for counterfeiting. Doesn't work like that. He doesn't have to be shooting a movie to use props. Lol.
