Citing an irrelevant statute does not defeat a bail application if the proper EOCCA provision is cited; bail granted with conditions.
Criminal procedure – Bail – Economic and Organized Crime Control Act (EOCCA) – section 29(4)(d) and section 36(5)(a) – lawful bail conditions including cash/property deposit and bond (Written Laws Misc. Amend. Act No.3 of 2016). Procedural law – Effect of citing inapplicable statutes – superfluous citation harmless where proper enabling provision is cited and no prejudice shown. Co-accused – sharing of financial burden for bail – application of principle of sharing.
