Former governor of Taraba State, Darius Ishaku was on Thursday admitted to bail in the sum of N150 million by a Federal Capital Territory, FCT, High Court in the alleged N27 billion fraud charge brought against him by the Federal Government.
The former governor was granted the bail by Justice Sylvanus Oriji with two sureties in the same amount.
One of the two sureties must be a Federal Government employee of the rank of Director.
Similarly, the two sureties must be residents in the FCT with their house addresses to be verified by the Registrar of the Court.
Besides, Justice Oriji barred the former governor and his co-defendant, Bello Hero, from traveling out of the country except with the permission of the court.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, through its counsel, Rotimi Jacobs did not oppose the bail.
Jacobs noted that the EFCC had on its own granted Ishaku administrative bail and he did not jump bail.
