Justice Abubakar Kultigi granted bail to Adoke in the sum of N50million and one surety.

Justice Kultigi admitted Adoke to bail in his ruling on the bail application filed by the defendant who is standing trial before the court on 42 count charge bordering on alleged Malabu Oil deal.

The court also granted bail to the second defendant Ahmed Aliyu in the sum of N50million with one surety.
