The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Gwarinpa, Abuja, on Tuesday, granted fresh bail to an Abuja pastor accused of raping a 14-year-old.
The court granted the 39-year-old founder and General Overseer of Prophetic Voice of Fire Ministry International, Gwagwalada, Abuja, Amos Isah, bail in the sum of N50 million with two sureties, among other terms and conditions.
The terms and conditions of the bail imposed by Judge Modupe Osho-Adebiyi are stiffer than those attached to a previous bail granted the defendant last year by the former trial judge in the Maitama division of the court.
Ms Osho-Adebiyi ruled that the sureties must be “responsible…heads of religious organisations, particularly Pentecostal churches,” and must present tax clearance, the judge said.
She ordered that court officials would have to verify the church buildings of the sureties and their residences. The judge also ordered that Mr Isah submit his passport to the court.
