Whilst the Federal High Court has exercised its discretion in granting bail to the Defendants in respect of the charges against them, I am also not unmindful of the right of the Complainant\/Prosecution to appeal or further challenge the grant of bail by the court having regards to extant legal provisions, particularly Section 169 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, my Office has chosen to comply with the court orders while considering the pursuit of its rights of appeal and\/or review of the order relating to the bail as granted or varied by the courts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn line with the provisions of Sections 150(1) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), and in compliance with the bail granted to Col. Sambo Dasuki (Rtd) (as recently varied by the Court of Appeal) and the bail granted to Omoyele Sowore, I have directed the State Security Services to comply with the order granting bail to the Defendants and effect their release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe two Defendants are enjoined to observe the terms of their bail and refrain from engaging in any act that is inimical to public peace and national security as well as their ongoing trial which will run its course in accordance with the laws of the land.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wish to reiterate again the utmost regard of my Office for the entire judicial structure of Nigeria.
