The bail application was presented before Justice Darius Khobo on July 29, 2019 by their lawyer Femi Falana. The application was opposed the Director, Public Prosecutions, Ministry of Justice of Kaduna State, Diri Bayero.
A statement issued by the spokesman of the DSS, Peter Afunanya, concerning the granted bail reads:
