The Chief
Magistrate Anthony Araba of the Magistrate court in Isabo, Abeokuta today
finally signed the bail bond of the arraigned blogger, SFOjo Adediran. Adediran, was arrested over the weekend over a
Facebook post alleging that governor Amosun's wife was involved in money
laundering in London.
The counsel to the Nigeria Police approached the court to request that his bail bond should not be signed as the police aren’t sure of the sureties provided by the defendant even after confirming the authenticity of the properties presented. Magistrate Anthony however ruled in favour of the defendant stating that he can 'no longer be pushed around'. At around 3:00pm, Ojo was released from the remand prison to his team of lawyers.
