Ohakim Granted Bail Of #270 Million by Nayok(m): 6:51pm On Jul 09, 2015
Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court in Abuja has granted
former Imo state governor, Ikedi Ohakim bail of N270 million in a N270
million fraud case which he is standing trial for. The former governor
was arraigned over a N270 million fraud he allegedly committed in 2008
while he was governor.  

While
delivering his judgement, the judge ordered EFCC officials to seize the former
governor’s passport and other travel documents and deposit it at
the office of the Deputy Chief Registrar of the court until his bail
conditions are met. Justice Adeniyi however did not state where the
accused will be remanded. 

Ohakim is standing trial for a three count charge of fraud which includes buying a property in Asokoro, Abuja for $2.29m and concealing the ownership of the property. He allegedly connived with
Tweenex Consociates H.D. Ltd. ‎to portray him as a tenant in the property.
One of the three count charges against him read,

“That you, Ikedi
Ohakim, on or about January 26, 2013 in Abuja within the
jurisdiction of the Federal High Court, while under arrest for an
offence under the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Establishment
Act, 2004 knowingly failed to make a full disclosure of your assets by
not declaring your ownership of the property known and described as Plot
No. 1098 Cadastral Zone A04, Asokoro District- it is also known as
No.60, Kwame Nkurumah Street, Asokoro, Abuja and thereby committed an
offence contrary to Section 27(3)(c) of the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission Establishment Act, 2004 and punishable under the same section.
