Court Adjourns Ruling On Jonathan’s ADC Bail Application

A Federal High Court siting in Abuja has adjourned ruling on the bail application of former President Goodluck Jonathan’s aid-de-camp, (ADC), Colonel Ojogbane Adegbe, till Tuesday March 1, 2016.



Counsel to the former ADC, Mr Ogwu Onoja, had approached the Federal High Court to enforce the fundamental human rights of his client whom he said is still in detention with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) since his arrest two weeks ago.

Meanwhile, the EFCC filed a 19 pages counter affidavit urging the court to dismiss the application, as the applicant’s detention is at the instance of his employer.

Counsel to the applicant however insisted that the fundamental human rights of his client has been violated, irrespective of who he is in their custody.
