Exhibit “A” shows that the applicant along with 4 others now at large
conspired to attack one Alh. Buda Garba after arming themselves with
cutlasses. By the provisions of Section 160(1) of the Sokoto State
Administration of Criminal Justice Law, 2019 a person accused of
committing a Capital offence can only be released on bail if he has shown
exceptional circumstances.
In view of all the foregoing, it is my humble view that looking at the facts
and circumstances of the applicant’s application and circumstances
surrounding the case of the applicant, it will serve the better interest of justice
if relief 2 of the Applicant’s relief is granted.
Accordingly, relief two of the Applicant’s application, is hereby granted.
Application granted.
