Five days after a High Court in Abuja, granted bail to a former Governor of Jigawa State, Saminu Turaki, another Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday ordered his remand in Kuje Prison, Abuja.
Justice Nnamdi Dimgba of the Federal High Court granted bail to Turaki on fresh bail conditions on Tuesday, he ordering the defendant to remain in Kuje Prisons, Abuja, pending when he meets his bail conditions.
Justice Dimgba gave the order shortly after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission re-arraigned Turaki and three companies on 32 counts of money laundering offences involving about N37bn.
The defendants allegedly committed the offences between 2006 and 2007 while the former governor was in office.
