The Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to Chioma Okoli, who has been imprisoned since 2023 for allegedly posting a review of tomato paste.
In a ruling dated Friday, May 31, 2024, Justice Peter Lifu set bail at N5 million with two sureties in the same amount.
The judge stipulated that the sureties must deposit their passport photographs, and Chioma must surrender her international passport and refrain from leaving the country without permission. Justice Lifu emphasized that the charges against her are bailable and scheduled the next hearing for June 13th.
This decision came just days after her lawyer revealed that Chioma had unfortunately lost her pregnancy due to the stress of the case over the past few months.
