BREAKING: Court Orders EFCC To Grant Jonathan’s Ex-ADC‎ Liberal Bail‎

A Federal Capital Territory High Court in Jabi, Abuja, has ordered the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to immediately grant bail to a former Aide de Camp to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Col. Ojogbane Adegbe, on liberal terms.

Justice Yusuf Halilu, ruling on a fundamental human rights enforcement suit filed by Adegbe on Tuesday, however,  refused the plaintiff’s ‎prayer for N100m compensation for unlawful detention by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and request for written apology from the anti-graft agency.

Meanwhile, before the judge started delivering his ruling on Tuesday, ‎Adegbe’s lawyer, Mr. Ogwu Onoja (SAN), informed the court that the EFCC after the hearing of the suit on February 25, transferred the ex-President’s ADC from its custody to the Army.
