A Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Gwarinpa has granted Chris Ngige, former minister of labour and employment, bail in the alleged N2bn fraud case.
Gatekeepers News report that in her ruling on Thursday, Justice Maryam Hassan directed that Ngige should remain on the administrative bail earlier granted to him by Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
The judge, however, ruled that the former minister must produce a surety who is a serving director in the federal government.
The court further stipulated that the surety must own a landed property and submit the property documents, alongside travel documents, to the court pending the completion of the process for Ngige to retrieve his passport.
