“Pending the perfection of the bail conditions, the accused persons are to be remanded in prison custody”, Justice Affen ordered.

Justice Affen ordered that one of the sureties must be a retired or serving Director in the Federal Civil Service.
‎
He also specified that the second surety must be an owner of a landed property within the Federal Capital Territory, which value must not be below N250million and ordered that the title deed of the said property be tendered to the Registrar of the High Court for verification and custody.

The Judge also asked lawyers for the accused to vouch for the character of the two sureties who should depose to an affidavit of means.

 It also curtailed the movement of the ‎accused by ordering that they submit their international passports to the court’s registrar  since they are barred from traveling outside the jurisdiction of the court without permission.

According to EFCC, the accuse persons allegedly conspired to divert N13.6billion from the office of the NSA meant to purchase arms to fight insurgency.
