Joyce Abdulmalik, the trial judge, on Monday, granted el-Rufai bail in the sum of N100 million with one surety in like sum.
Abdulmalik ruled that the surety must reside in either Maitama or Asokoro districts of Abuja and must deposit the original Certificate of Occupancy of a landed property at the court registry.
