A Federal Capital Territory High Court in Gwarimpa, Abuja has ordered former Minister of Labour and Employment Chris Ngige to remain in Kuje Correctional Centre as a court postpones ruling on his bail application. The hearing was adjourned to December 18.
Ngige is facing charges relating to alleged contract fraud involving N2.14 billion, according to court documents.
The presiding judge heard arguments from both the prosecution and the defence before issuing the remand order at the start of proceedings on Monday.
