Glory Okolie, the 21-year-old girl arrested and enslaved by the Inspector-General’s Intelligence Response Unit (IRT), has been granted bail by a Federal High Court in Abuja.

Glory was arrested as bait for a wanted member of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). She was accused of spying for the outlawed group, sending and receiving funds on behalf of the secessionists.

On Tuesday, Glory filed a suit at the Federal High Court in Abuja to demand her immediate and unconditional release from Police custody. She asked the court to mandate the Police to pay her a sum of N100 billion as damages for infringing on her rights.
