Ex-Governor Nyako Thrilled as Court Grants Him and Son N1.4bn Bail

 

 

 Another former Governor and his son have been docked by the EFCC.

 

This time, the former governor of Adamawa state, Murtala Nyako and his son Abdulazeez, were lucky enough to be granted bail of N1.4 billion.

 

An Abuja High Court let the ex-governor and his son walk at a sitting yesterday, July 10.

 

According to the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the father and son, and two others used five companies - Blue Opal Nigeria limited, Serore Farms & Extension Limited, Pagoda Fortunes Limited, Towers Assets Management Limited and Crust Energy Limited, to siphon Adamawa state funds running to N15 billion.

 

The accused pleaded not guilty to the charges against them.
