Lagos-based millionaire movie producer, Seun Egbegbe, the estranged
lover of popular Nollywood actress, Toyin Aimakhu, who was arrested and
detained in February 2017 for allegedly attempting to defraud a couple
of Bureau de Change operators, is crying out about the conditions of his
bail.
According to Goldmyne TV, the filmmaker is complaining about the
strict nature of his N5million bail which he was granted since February
24, 2017.
Seun Egbegbe, who has spent two months in Ikoyi prison for theft,
revealed that he is unable to find two sureties with the profile
required by the court.
The judge had reportedly ruled that the two sureties in the like
sum of N2.5 million each must be: (i) a civil servant on level 16 who
deposits his international passport, and (ii) a property owner in Lagos
metropolis who deposits a certificate of occupancy.
Both sureties are also to be mandatorily profiled with their office and home addresses verified.
“Where do they expect him to get the sureties who would leave
the passport and certificate of occupancy with the court until the case
which may last four years ends?,” a close associate of Egbebe stated.
“Who will risk losing N2.5 million as surety for a case that has not even really started?,” the source added.
Recall that on Monday, the controversial filmmaker, was arraigned
for a third time for alleged serial frauds following the amendment of
charges against him by the Nigerian Police.
