 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). While the court adopted the administrative bail previously granted by the EFCC on self-recognizance, it imposed stringent conditions: Ngige must produce a surety who is a Federal Government director, owns land in the FCT with a Certificate of Occupancy, and submits both the original certificate and international passport to the court.

DOZENS OF FEMALE TROOPS HAVE BECOME PREGNANT WHILE SERVING IN FALKLANDS WITH AT LEAST 50.(PHOTO).

Ministry of Defence figures also show that up to 31 of them were serving in the RAF at the time.

The Falklands deployment is regarded as being one of the dullest postings in the Armed Forces.

The islands, including capital Port Stanley, are battered by violent storms, especially during the winter when temperatures can drop as low as -10C.


One source last night said the figures released by the MoD suggested that “troops were making their own entertainment”.

The MoD figures also show that since 2008, 182 pregnant servicewomen have been medically evacuated from foreign postings and war zones, including Iraq, Afghanistan, and the peacekeeping mission in Cyprus.

They also revealed that since 2017, almost 200 female recruits have become pregnant after they began basic training.

The source said: “Getting pregnant during recruit training is quite an achievement because it is a very tough training regime with limited amounts of free time.”


Servicewomen are repeatedly reminded by senior officers to check they are not pregnant before they fly to the front line.

However, they are not forced to take a urine test because top brass consider it would be an invasion of privacy.
