BREAKING: Gun-running allegation; Dino Melaye granted bail in absentia

The trial judge in the gun-running allegation against the Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye , has granted the bail application in his favour.

Justice Nasir Ajana, who ruled on the bail application before a Lokoja High Court on Thursday ( today) in Lokoja , based his ruling on the conviction as submitted by the defense counsel , Chief Mike Ozekhome ( SAN) to the effect that the continued incarceration of Senator Melaye will jeopardise his health condition , which he said was “ deteriorating. ”

He also said that there was nothing to show that the applicant would jump bail if granted.

Ajana therefore admitted Melaye to bail, with one surety for N 10m .
