The Oyo High Court sitting in Ibadan has granted bail to the 12 individuals accused of murdering Jeffrey Akro, an undergraduate student of Ajayi Crowther University. The court has adjourned the case until Friday, February 21, 2025.
The suspects, who pleaded not guilty to a two-count charge during a previous hearing at the court in Awe, Oyo State, had their bail application delayed during the last sitting. The case was consequently adjourned until today.
At the latest hearing, Justice Ladiran Akintola granted the suspects bail in the sum of N5 million each, with their parents required to stand as sureties. The court’s decision has allowed the suspects to secure temporary release as the case continues to unfold.
