The court ordered that the surety must be a level 13 civil servant who will submit an affidavit of means, proof of employment, and evidence of last promotion.

Both the actress and the surety are also required to provide passport photographs, while the court registrar will confirm the surety’s residential address.

The matter has been adjourned to March 23, with Okorie expected to remain at the Suleja Correctional Centre until all bail conditions are fully met.
