Obiano Restricted As Court Grants Him Bail

Justice Inyang Ekwo who announced Obiano’s bail on Wednesday also ordered that the former governor should be restricted to the court jurisdiction.

He ordered the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to transfer the defendant’s travel documents to the court registrar.

EFCC had charged the defendant alongside his companies, Ibeto Energy Development Company and Odoh Holdings Ltd, with 10 counts, bordering on conspiracy, fraud, forgery and fraudulent use of documents.

Not satisfied with the order and the refusal of the court to hear his preliminary objection, the defendant proceeded to file a seven-ground of appeal before the appeal court.

The prosecution counsel, Slyvanus Tahir, SAN, had prayed the court to remand the former governor.

Justice Ekwo adjourned Obiano’s case till March 4,5,6 and 7 for continuation of the trial.
