Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Monday, stood down hearing in a bail application filed by Sen. Shehu Sani, until noon. Justice Ekwo stood the matter down after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraigned the former lawmaker, who represents Kaduna Central. After the charges were read to the defendant, A.A Ibrahim, who represented Sani prayed the court to grant him leave to move his client’s bail application. He prayed the court for a remand order against the senator, arguing that he was just being served with the bail application today. He said the plea for bail would be decided when the court reconvenes.
