The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday declined to hear the application by the detained National President of Miyetti Allah Kauta Kore, Bello Bodejo, to review the conditions attached to the N2 billion bail granted him days ago.
Justice Inyang Ekwo, in a ruling, said that since the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is contesting the review application, the court might be unable to conclude its proceedings before the court vacation commences.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the EFCC charged Mr Bodejo with money laundering involving $2.63 million allegedly traced to the Bauchi State Government.
On Monday, the judge granted Mr Bodejo a N2 billion bail with two sureties.
The judge ordered that one of the sureties must present a three-year tax clearance evidence and must reside within the court’s jurisdiction, while the second sureties must have a land worth N2 billion in Abuja.
