Jubilation As Court Grants Nigerian Senator Bail (PHOTO)

Sen. Bassey Akpan (Akwa-Ibom North-East) was granted bail by a High Appeal sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, and thousands of his supporters rejoiced.

Akpan, the Young Progressives Party (YPP) governorship candidate in Akwa Ibom State in the 2023 elections, arrived in Uyo on Thursday after his release.

YPP faithful and his throngs of supporters rejoiced with the senator’s wife, expressing gratitude to God for their candidate’s release.

Despite his ordeal at the hands of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Akpan’s supporters continue to believe in his leadership ability and, as a result, supported his cause even while he was absent. They reportedly promised to vote for him even if he is detained in the upcoming election.

Prosecuted by the EFCC, the senator was sentenced to 42 years in prison without the option of a fine for corruption. Anwana Amba, Akpan’s running mate and a retired Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG), described his principal’s ordeal as a test of faith.

He stated that Akpan took his milk of kindness to the Ikot Ekpene Correctional Centre, where he donated medical supplies to alleviate inmates’ medical concerns and facilitated the release of several inmates who could not afford their bail.
