In Abuja, a Federal High Court has granted bail to former Minister of Aviation Hadi Sirika, along with his daughter and two others, requiring a ₦100 million bail bond and two sureties.
Sirika and others are being tried over an alleged ₦2.7bn fraud.
The sureties, according to the court, must have landed properties in Abuja and also responsible citizens.
The sureties must depose to an affidavit of means. The court also restricted the defendants from traveling abroad without its permission.
Justice Oriji ordered that the defendants should be remanded in prison custody if they failed to meet their bail conditions.
Recall that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has slammed six counts on the former minister, his daughter, and two others.
