The order may sound as good news to Nigerians who have always complained about the high financial demands by the police for bail.
Even at their stations, it is clearly written that bail is free but everyone knows that the notices are just formality as the police still charge money for bail.
In fact, there are instances where offenders are taken to court because they could not pay for their bails.
