The court, in a ruling, delivered by Justice Chizoba Orji, rejected application the Federal Government made for the defendant who was arraigned on a three-count charge, to be remanded in prison custody pending the determination of the case against her.


Justice Orji held that she found no reason to deny the defendant bail, saying there was sufficient evidence that she is willing to face her trial.


Consequently, aside from the N50m, the court held that the defendant must produce one surety who must be a person of integrity that owns a landed property in Abuja.


The case was subsequently adjourned till September 23 for trial. Federal Government is prosecuting the lawmaker for allegedly making a false claim that the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, and former Governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello, were behind plot to assassinate her.
