Facts of the Case
Background
The appellant, a public prosecutor, was charged with criminal abuse of duty for consenting to bail in a robbery and murder case without following proper procedures. When police sought to question him, he could not be located at his home, work, or mother's residence, and his phones were unreachable. He later handed himself to police. The court a quo denied him bail, finding him a flight risk.
