 Court Grants Ngige Bail Despite EFCC Objections, Sparks Debate Over Corruption Trials In a move stirring controversy, former Labour Minister and ex-Anambra State Governor, Dr. Chris Ngige, has been granted bail by Justice Maryam Aliyu Hassan of the FCT High Court, even as he faces an eight-count corruption charge filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

 Borno State: NAF Bombards Terrorists Hideout Near Marte

The targets were subsequently engaged with a huge ball of fire engulfing the area observed afterward, destroying their gun struck and motorcycles with no sign of movement afterward.


According to the statement, the failed strategies adopted by terrorists to evade detection and the firepower of the land and air components of operation hadin kai, by moving from one point to another is indicative of their inability to hold ground and pose significant threats to military formations or pick on soft civilian targets at will, thereby exhibiting their desperation and weakness through their conduct.


The statement notes that the recent assertion of Governor Babagana Zulum of improved security situation in Borno State attests to the successes of the efforts of the Armed Forces of Nigeria and other security agencies.
