Breaking: EFCC Grants Reuben Abati Bail by adewales4: 5:32pm On Oct 28, 2016


The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has granted bail to former presidential spokesman, Dr. Reuben Abati.
Abati was arrested for allegedly participating in the misapplication of the $2.2bn arms procurement funds.

Abati who has been in detention for about a week, will be released by the anti-graft today, October 27, after he meets his bail conditions, Vanguard reports.As part of his bail conditions, the former presidential spokesman will have to drop his International Passport and produce a surety of not below Level 16 in the Civil Service before he is released from custody.Abati, and Bala Mohammed, a former minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) were arrested by EFCC operatives on Monday, October 24, few hours apart for alleged graft.

Operatives of the anti-graft agency on Tuesday evening, October, 25, said Mr. Abati received N50 million from the embattled former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.

EFCC sources said Mr. Abati admitted receiving the amount and explained how he spent it.Mr. Abati reportedly told investigators that he spent the N50 million on media relations that had to do with his work as media adviser for Mr. Jonathan.

But when asked for evidence of how the money was spent, he reportedly said such details were not documented.Meanwhile, the deputy Senate president Senator Ike Ekweremadu has told some detained past officials that they were paying the same price of leadership paid by past leaders who were detained on different occasions in the leadership quest for the country.

Ekweremadu said this when he paid a solidarity visit on Thursday, October 27, to Mr. Femi Fani Kayode, director of publicity of the Jonathan campaign organisation, Dr. Reuben Abati, Jonathan’s media adviser and Mr. Bala Mohammed, minister of the Federal Capital Territory who all served under President Jonathan.
