A Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Gwarinpa has granted bail to Chris Ngige, former Minister of Labour and Employment.
Maryam Hassan, the presiding judge, ruled that Ngige should continue on the administrative bail earlier granted to him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
However, the court directed that Ngige must produce a surety who is a serving director in the employ of the federal government.
The judge further ordered that the surety must own a landed property and deposit the relevant property documents, as well as travel documents, with the court pending the retrieval of Ngige’s passport.
