A former Minister and PDP Senatorial candidate under PDP, Alhaji Ikra Aliyu Bilbis who was remanded in prison for two weeks by Zamfara state Upper Sharia court has finally been released on bail without any condition.
Recall that, Bilbis was arraigned before the Upper Sharia court in Gusau for alleged being involved in a security bridge during a PDP rally that started from Bakura, through Mafara Maru, Bungudu, and ended in Gusau, the state capital.
He was granted bail by the court and granted bail under difficult conditions of producing a serving permanent secretary in the state civil service and someone who has a house in Gusau town worth N20m as sureties.
As he could not meet the conditions after 14 days, the court had decided to release him on bail unconditionally.
His release was confirmed by the PDP’s legal Adviser, Barrister Shehu Ajiya.
Barrister Ajiya said Ikra Aliyu Bilbis was released on bail without any attached condition.
At the resumed hearing of the matter on Dec.13, the presiding judge was not in court but later sent a notice releasing the Bilbis with no condition.
He adjourned the mater to Dec. 27 for hearing in the substantive suit.
