Oronsaye Gets Bail by Amazinpeace(f): 10:09am On Jul 22, 2015 |
A Federal High Court on Tuesday granted bail to a
former Head of Service of the Federation, Mr.
Stephen Oronsaye, on self-recognisance.
But the trial judge, Justice Gabriel Kolawole,
granted bail to Oronsaye’s co-accused person,
Osarenkhoe Afe, in the sum of N50m with two
sureties one of whom must not be less than Grade
Level 16 officer in either a federal or state
government establishment.
The judge also ruled that one of Afe’s sureties
must have property worth, N75m within Abuja.
He ordered that both Oronsaye and Afe must
deposit their passports and other travel documents
with the court registrar.
Justice Kolawole ordered that in the event that the
accused persons were unable to meet the bail
conditions within one week, they should be re-
arrested and remanded in Kuje prison in Abuja.
Afe is the Managing Director of Fredrick Hamilton
Global Services Limited, a company that was
named as the third accused in the 24 counts
preferred against them by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission.
The EFCC is prosecuting the accused persons for
allegedly defrauding the Federal Government to the
tune of N118,992,201.6 under the guise of paying
the money in tranches for the contract of biometric
data capture project between March 2010 and
December 2011.
The fraud was allegedly perpetrated through
awarding and payment for phoney contracts to
nine companies including, Innovative Solutions,
Fredrick Hamilton Global Serices, Xangee
Technologies Limited, Fatideck Ventures, Obalando
Nigeria Enterprises, Moshfad Enterprises and
Fesbee Global Resources Limited.
Other companies through which the accused
persons allegedly siphoned the money from the
Federal Government are Jolance Integrated
Concept Limited and M.OF Investment Limited.
There were new twists in the trial on Tuesday, as
Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team, Alhaji
Abdulrasheed Maina, sent a lawyer, Esther Uzoma,
to court to debunk the allegation that he was at
large.
Tuesday’s proceedings before Justice Gabriel
Kolawole of a Federal High Court in Abuja were
scheduled for the hearing of the bail applications
filed by Oronsaye and other accused persons.
Maina is not named as an accused person in the
case, but his name appears in many of the 24
counts preferred against the accused persons as
an accomplice who is on the run.
