[]
QUICK NEWS AFRICA
The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday declined to hear a fresh application by detained National President of Miyetti Allah Kauta Kore, Bello Bodejo, seeking an order varying his bail conditions.
Justice Inyang Ekwo, in a ruling, held that since the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is contesting the application, the court might be unable to conclude its proceedings before the court vacation commences.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the EFCC charged Bodejo with money laundering involving 2.63 million U.S. dollars.
Justice Ekwo had, on Monday, admitted Bodejo to a N2 billion bail with two sureties in the like sum.
The judge then advised parties to approach a vacation judge, during the court’s vacation, to hear the application.
