July 12, (THEWILL) – Amandianeze Boniface Odenigbo and Sunbo Olawale Winfunke, co-owners of Buzz Bar in Victoria Island, have been granted provisional bail by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) upon satisfying their bail conditions. The conditions include the provision of a private person, who would stand as surety, of which the person must be a property owner located within Ikoyi or Victoria Island in Lagos State. The surety must present the original Certificate of Occupancy of the property, which must be verified by the anti-graft agency.

They were also expected to provide an officer on grade level 15 in a Federal or State Ministry, Department or Agency.

Meanwhile, Tania Omotayo, Winfunke’s fashion designer wife, has been flooded with good will messages since the ugly incident happened. Friends and fans of the lady sent flowers and chocolates, in what looks like a display of solidarity, to the businesswoman in her trying moments.

The two were allegedly implicated in a $35 million fraud. It was alleged that one of their partners in the United States gave them out to the FBI.
