Justice Evelyn Anyadike of the Federal High Court in Ilorin, on Friday, granted bail to former Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed, who was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged misappropriation of State funds.

Gatekeepers News reports that he was arraigned on a 12-coumt charge alongside his former Commissioner of Finance, Ademola Banu, who was however, not in court.

The former Governor pleaded not guilty when the charge was read to him in court.

The trial judge granted Ahmed bail in the sum of N50 million, which must be in form of bond, and two sureties, one of who must have a landed property in Ilorin.

The former Governor is also to deposit his international passport with the court registry amd seek permission if he wants to travel outside the country, as trial of his case begins on April 29 and 30, 2024.

Ahmed was driven to the command office of the anti-graft agency from the court premises pending when the stringent bail conditions will be met.
