Popular Nigerian singer Iyanya was on Thursday, 27th February 2020, granted a N20 m bail condition by an Igbosere High Court in Lagos, over alleged car theft.
Justice Okikiolu-Ighile said that the musician had a case to answer. “I have perused the affidavit and the counter-affidavit of the parties; there is a prima facie case of criminal conversion against him,” the judge says.
“However, there is nothing to show that the defendant will interfere with the proceedings of this case and nothing to show that he will jump bail if granted bail. Bail is therefore granted to the defendant in the sum of N20 million with one surety in the like sum”.
The musician was however warned to perfect the conditions within seven days, “otherwise, the bail shall be revoked”.
According to reports by Instablog on their Instagram page, The judge adjourned the case until 27 May 27 and 28 for trial.
