Justice Kawu also reviewed and reactivated previously fulfilled bail conditions dated November 28, 2025, which required the provision of the two sureties and the surrender of the applicant’s international passport.

The court held that the interim bail was granted on grounds of exceptional hardship, pending the hearing and determination of the substantive motion on notice.
