ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) - A court in Nigeria on Tuesday released on bail an American aid worker charged with violating state security after she helped two Germans film in the country's troubled Niger Delta oil region.
Judith Asuni, a U.S. citizen married to a Nigerian, and fellow accused Nigerian colleague Danjuma Saidu were allowed to go home on condition they make bail deposits of US$80,000 each and surrender their travel documents.
Presiding Judge Binta Murtala Nyako said she was granting them bail despite the seriousness of the allegations because prosecutors failed to file evidence against them before the court.
