Justice Peter Kekemeke gave the order after the federal government arraigned the erstwhile CCT boss on four-count corruption charge.
The judge adjourned the case until 15 July 15 for hearing of Mr Umar’s bail application.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) charged Mr Umar with abuse of office.
It was alleged that in 2021 he used his wife’s bank account to collect N5.5 million from a contractor engaged to paint the headquarters of the CCT in Abuja.
The anti-graft agency further alleged that on 25 January 2024, the defendant also used his wife’s account to collect N6 million from a contractor who handled the digitisation of the CCT’s records.
