The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Maitama, has granted bail to the suspended Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, in the sum of ₦50 million.
Justice Chizoba Orji, who delivered the ruling on Thursday, rejected the Federal Government’s request to remand the embattled lawmaker in prison custody pending trial.
Ruling on the bail application, Justice Orji held that there was no substantial reason to deny the defendant her right to bail, noting that she had demonstrated a willingness to appear and face trial.
