The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, on Tuesday, arraigned a former Assistant Comptroller-General of Nigeria Customs, Bridget Okafor, on 13 counts bordering on abuse of office to the tune of N3,336,176,661.24 .
Defence counsel, Efut Okoi, however, informed the court of a pending application before the court seeking bail for the defendant. Arguing the application for bail, Okoi, said: “The defendant has never been arraigned before any court for any alleged offence throughout her 35 years of service and she was also granted bail by the prosecution. She is a mother and a wife, hence she cannot jump bail.”Responding, Jirbo, said he had no case to challenge the affidavit, as “she has been on bail by the Commission and she always honours the Commission’s invitation.
The trial judge, thereafter, admitted her to bail in the sum of N5m, with two sureties in like sum, who must be within the jurisdiction of the court, and who must be a civil servant not below the Grade Level 14.The matter has been adjourned until July 3, 2019 for hearing.
