Lagos to register professional sureties to check touting

The Lagos State Government has said it would soon register professional sureties to check the activities of touts abusing the bail bond system.

Mr Ade Ipaye, Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, made this known at a stakeholders’ summit on the creation of bondspersons Thursday in Lagos.

A bondsperson is an individual or corporate body who has been licensed by a chief judge to stand as surety for a defendant under a legal bond.
