The Federal Capital Territory High Court in Gwarinpa, Abuja, on Thursday, has approved the continuation of administrative bail for Chris Ngige, former minister of labour and employment, previously granted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Justice Maryam Hassan delivered the ruling after hearing a bail application presented on behalf of Ngige by Patrick Ikwueto, his lead counsel.
In her ruling, Hassan instructed that Ngige provide a surety who is a director in the federal government and owns a landed property.
The judge also ordered that the surety deposit the title documents of the property, along with travel papers, with the court until Ngige recovers his international passport.
Earlier, the EFCC had allowed Ngige bail on self-recognition, directing him to submit his travel documents to the commission and present one surety.
