The Federal High Court in Abuja has lowered the bail amount for Alhaji Bello Bodejo, the National President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, from N2 billion to N1 billion. Justice Salim Ibrahim, sitting as a vacation judge, also revised the surety requirements, limiting property value to N1 billion in specific Abuja districts and requiring identification documents.
