He was granted bail alongside
Yusuf Pam, a former government official in the state.
Jang, who has been in prison for
eight days, was freed on Thursday.
The bail was granted on the
condition that he presents two sureties in the sum of N100million each.
One of the sureties, the judge
said, must be a first class traditional ruler within the jurisdiction. He was
also asked to deposit his international passport.
Pam was asked to produce two
sureties with N50 million each and to also submit his international passport.
Jang was in custody of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for nine days before his
arraignment.
The serving senator and Pam were
earlier arraigned on a 12-count charge bothering on diversion of public funds.
The court had earlier struck out
corruption charges filed against the senator by the Independent Corruption
Practice and other related offensive Commission (ICPC) at the request of the
commission.
