A federal high court in Abuja has again, refused to grant bail to Tigran Gambaryan, an executive of Binance Holdings Limited.
Gatekeepers News reports that the presiding judge, Emeka Nwite in his ruling, held that the application constitutes an abuse of court process because the defendant has entered an appeal against a previous court ruling on the same issue.
The judge said that the fact that a defendant in custody is of ill health does not automatically mean he is entitled to bail.
Nwite added that the defendant had failed to show evidence that the Correctional Service facility could not attend to his medical needs or take him to a specialist for further medical attention.
He said, “This application is bound to fail.”
The judge ordered prison authorities to take Gambaryan to a standard specialist hospital within Abuja, for three days, adding that he must be under security supervision.
