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.

Ogwu also said that after the hearing, the EFCC which claimed it was only holding Adegbe on the instruction of the Army, decided to grant bail to his client in conditions that were allegedly impossible to meet.
