Jail and bail

What it is

If you’re arrested and don’t pay the fine, you’ll stay in a cell for a few real minutes.

How to get out

  1. Pay bail from the jail banner on your phone, or tap Pay Bail in the cell.
  2. Ask your bae or a close friend to pay. They’ll see a Pay ₦… bail button in their messages.
  3. Use a cell lawyer for half the bail, call Daddy if you’re a nepo baby, or try to escape. You get one escape attempt; if you fail, your time increases.

Rules & numbers

  • Your cell time is one-tenth of the charge sheet in real minutes, up to 6 minutes.
  • Bail is 40% of the fine, adjusted for the time left. It’s at least ₦2,000 and at most ₦1,000,000.
  • You can call Daddy once a week.
  • You can’t pay bail while in EFCC custody.
  • Bail you pay for a friend counts towards the ₦10m daily limit.

Tips

  • If you can’t pay bail yourself, ask your bae or a close friend.
