Abuja Court Upholds EFCC Administrative Bail for Ex-Minister Chris Ngige, Imposes Fresh Surety Conditions
The Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja has upheld the administrative bail granted to former Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, by the EFCC. Justice Mariam Hassan ruled that Ngige must present a surety who is a Federal Government director and owns landed property, with the surety required to deposit property documents and travel documents pending the retrieval of Ngige’s passport. Ngige faces an 8-count charge over alleged N2.2 billion contract fraud and acceptance of gifts from contractors of the NSITF during his tenure. The EFCC had opposed bail, citing Ngige as a flight risk, noting that he previously traveled abroad on administrative bail and failed to return his passport.
