Remember how a Federal Capital Territory High Court had given Emefiele, who is being prosecuted for purported procurement fraud, a N300 million bail?
He was given bail along with two sureties in the same amount. The property titles and certificates of occupancy of the sureties must be for properties located in Abuja’s Maitama District.
The former CBN governor was also mandated to stay inside the Abuja Municipal Area Council and to deposit all of his travel documents with the court registrar.
