Court Remands Abba Moro In Kuje Prison Over Immigration Job Scam

 

A Federal High Court in Abuja has remanded a former Minister of Interior, Mr. Abba Moro, ‎and a deputy director in the ministry, F. O Alayebam‎i, in prison pending the hearing of their bail applications scheduled for Wednesday.

Justice Anwuli Chikere on Monday ordered their remand in prison shortly after they were arraigned on11 counts of N675m fraud bordering on the botched March 15, 2014 National Immigration Services recruitment exercise.

However, the judge allowed one of the accused persons, Mrs. Anastasia Daniel-Nwobia‎, who is a former Permanent Secretary in the ministry, to continue enjoying the administrative bail granted her‎ by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on February 22.
