Nigeria - Former Head of Service of the Federation, Mr. Stephen Oronsaye has been granted bail on self-recognition by a federal high court in Abuja.
But the trial judge, Justice Gabriel Kolawole, granted bail to Oronsaye’s co-accused, Osarenkhoe Afe, in the sum of N50m with two sureties, one of whom must not be less than Grade Level 16 in either federal or state government establishments.
The judge also ruled that one of Afe’s sureties must have property worth N75m within Abuja.
He ordered that both Oronsaye and Afe must deposit their passports and other travel documents with the court registrar.
The EFCC had arraigned the accused persons for allegedly defrauding the Federal Government to the tune of N118,992,201.6, under the guise of paying the money in tranches for the contract of biometric data capture project between March 2010 and December 2011.
