The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, sitting at Maitama on Thursday granted the immediate past Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, a fresh N500million bail.
The court, in the ruling that was delivered by Justice Maryann Anenih, equally ordered him to provide three sureties in the like sum.
Justice Anenih also ruled that the sureties must be owners of landed properties within the highbrow areas of Abuja.
Aside from directing the former governor to surrender his international traveling documents, the court held that he should not leave the country without permission.
Bello, alongside Umar Shuaibu Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu are being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC on a 16-count charge of criminal breach of trust and money laundering to the tune of N110.4 billion.
