Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force PRO, has responded to a query regarding “bail” that many Nigerians have been asking for a very long time.
He said that the Nigerian police do not charge for bail and that anyone who was requested to pay for release should get an invoice or receipt as proof of payment.
“Police administrative bail is free. If anyone demands bail money, you too demand an invoice or receipt to prove payment. If he can’t issue it, dont pay. That is a fraud. I have said this severally. Thanks”, he wrote on his Twitter and many Nigerians didn’t believe him.
