Justice Rahman Oshodi also remanded Emefiele’s co-defendant Henry Omoile at the Ikoyi Prison pending the court’s ruling on his bail on Thursday.
Abdul Hakeem Labi-Lawal, the counsel to the former CBN Governor asked the court to grant Emefiele bail on self-recognizance pending the hearing and determination of the case or on the most liberal bail terms. The counsel also asked the court to grant the second defendant bail on the most liberal terms.
EFCC counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo SAN in his response, did not oppose the request for bail. He asked the court to exercise its discretion in the grant of bail.
