The court ordered each defendant to provide two sureties in the same amount of ₦200 million.
One surety must deposit title documents for property located in Maitama or Asokoro, two high-value districts in Abuja.

Justice Abdulmalik ruled that the defendants will remain in the custody of the Nigerian Correctional Service until they meet all bail conditions.
The court adjourned the case to March 16, 2026, for the commencement of trial.
