What is Bail?
Bail is a crucial aspect of the Nigerian criminal justice system. It involves the temporary release of a person who has been accused of a crime while they await trial, under specific conditions. This process allows individuals who are presumed innocent until proven guilty to remain free under certain conditions.
Bail is governed by the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 for federal offences, and various state laws for state-level offences. Barr. Nnenna Okereke goes into detail on how the Nigerian legal system handles bail in our latest YouTube video.
