An Upper Area court in Zuba has granted popular aphrodiasic ‘Kayanmata’ seller, Hauwa Muhammed aka Jaruma, bail.
Jaruma was arraigned on Monday for alleged defamation of character, false news publication and injurious falsehood.
The presiding judge, Barrister Ismail Abdullahi Jubril, ruling on her bail application said her remand should not be seen as a punishment to the defendant.
He, however, warned all parties involved in the matter to refrain from actions that could be considered prejudicial to the case.
“The court did not remand her in custody as a punitive means to penalise the defendant but to make her present an answer to her case. By this , I shall quick to point out that the charge against the defendant is bailable but not ordinary.
” I hereby grant her bail on the following conditions: That the surety must be a level 12 civil servant working within the FCT. Also, all the parties involved in the case should stay from anything that would be prejudicial to the case,” he said.
