The EFCC, through its counsel, Rotimi Jacobs, did not oppose the bail request of the former governor.
Jacobs stated that the anti-graft agency had granted the ex-governor administrative bail and he did not jump the bail.
Justice Oriji subsequently fixed November 4, 5 and 13 for the commencement of trial.
