The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC on December 3, 2025 arraigned  Mohammed Suleiman Kumo before Justice H.H. Kereng of the Gombe High Court sitting in Gombe.

The defendant  pleaded not guilty  to the charges  prompting the prosecution  counsel , Abubakar Aliyu to ask the court for a trial date and to remand the defendant in Gombe State Correctional Centre but counsel to the defendant,  Adamu Bawa moved a motion for bail which was vehemently  opposed by the prosecution on point of law.


Justice Kereng,  having heard both prosecution and defence counsel said, "having  recognized that the defendant was granted administrative  bail by the EFCC and came to court from home and based on that, I grant the defendant  bail in the interim pending the ruling on his bail application".


The judge therefore adjourned the case to January13 and 14, 2026 for ruling on bail application and hearing of the case.
