An Abuja High Court sitting at Maitama, on Thursday, granted bail to the former Accountant-General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris.

This is coming barely a week after the court remanded the former AGF in prison.

In his judgement, the presiding judge, Justice Adeyemi Ajayi, adopted all the terms and conditions of the administrative bail the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission earlier gave the ex-AGF and his two co-defendants.

“In line with the due process and supremacy of the law, the Defendants are still entitled to bail, irrespective of the enormity of the allegations against them.

“The EFCC did not in any of its processes, stated that the Defendants misbehaved while on administrative bail”, Ajayi ruled.
