The concept of bail refers to the temporary release of a suspect or an accused person
pending trial with an assurance that he or she will appear when summoned. The
purpose of bail is to respect the accused’s fundamental human right to personal
liberty. The process of bail may vary depending on the type of crime for which he has
been arrested.
There are two types of bail which includes the police bail and the court bail.
When the Police grants bail, it lasts for as long as the matter remains with the police.
Police bail is free. Unfortunately, some police officers, in Nigeria today, extort
suspects by collecting money for bail.
