Adoke and one Aliyu Abubakar is being prosecuted by EFCC on a 7-count charge before Justice Binta Nyako.
Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, who argued the bail application of Adoke, prayed the court to grant Adoke bail in self recognizance being a former AGF, pending the hearing of the charges. While submitting that bail is constitutional, the senior lawyer said a defendant should not be denied his right to freedom of free movement until when he is convicted.
Recall that Justice Kutigi had, on Jan. 30, admitted both Adoke and Abubakar to bail in the sum of N50m each.The sureties who must be responsible citizens of Nigeria must reside within the jurisdiction of the court. The defendants were also ordered to submit their international passport to the court and would not travel without the court’s permission.
