Justice Nnamdi Dimgba of the Federal High Court, Abuja, granted
Agbele bail in the sum of N500million which will be forfeited to the
Federal Government in the event that he absconds.
He is to provide

or professional in the sum of N250 million each. The accused is to

In a statement through the
commissions’s spokeman, Wilson Ujuwaren, he is to be remanded in prison
