The Lagos State High Court, on Monday, granted popular media personality and influencer, Scott Iguma bail.
This came three days after Scott was remanded in prison.
We reported that Scott had last week Monday, called out a popular real estate company, PWAN for defrauding customers.
While submitting over 130 petitions from victims to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Scott accused PWAN of selling receipts to the people instead of land.
On Thursday, he was arrested for defamation by PWAN founder, Augustine Onwumere.
The court remanded him in prison on Friday morning.
The development sparked controversy across social media platforms, with many of his colleagues and associates including Tunde Ednut, VeryDarkMan, Stanley Ontop, and singer Kokopee calling out the Nigeria Police and PWAN.
However, in a video shared on his page, singer Kokopee announced that Scott has been granted bail.
He said
"After the hearing, the judge has granted Scott Iguma bail. His legal team are currently working round the clock to make sure all bail conditions are met. One thing I must tell Nigerians is that we can not be silent when it looks like oppression is around the corner. Injustice for one is injustice to all.
"PWAN be warned, if you say you are innocent , come forward with proof".
