Chuks Okocha in Abuja
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar voiced concern over the continued detention of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, describing the bail conditions imposed on him as excessively stringent and potentially inconsistent with constitutional safeguards.
In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku stated that bail should serve as a mechanism for protecting the presumption of innocence rather than becoming an indirect means of incarceration.
He maintained that conditions attached to bail must be reasonable and attainable, warning that requirements that are difficult or impossible to meet effectively amount to a denial of bail.
