Some Nigerian youths took to the streets of Abuja to protest what they described as defamation of Prince Ned Nwoko’s character by Kayamata CEO, Hauwa Muhammed popularly known as Jaruma
Recall that Jaruma took to her social media pages to spread alleged false information against Prince Nwoko as an attempt to tarnish his image on social media.
After her actions, a petition was written against her by the billionaire businessman which culminated to her arrest last week.
In a related development, An Upper Area Court sitting in Zuba, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, on Friday admitted Jaruma to bail with a surety on Grade Level 12 within the FCT.
Ruling on the bail application, the presiding judge, Ismail Abdullahi Jubril, said the charges preferred against her was bailable but not ordinary.
The court cautioned the parties in the case to maintain decorum and not make unnecessary comments. The judge said, “The court did not remand her in custody as a punitive means to penalise the defendant but to make her present and answer to her case. By this I shall quick to point out that the charge against the defendant is bailable but not ordinary.
“I hereby grant her bail on the following condition of a surety who must be a Grade Level 12 working within the FCT.
“Also, all the parties involved in the case should stay from anything that would be prejudicial to the case.”
The judge adjourned the matter until February 23 for trial.
