A Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday granted bail at N500million to ex-Imo Governor Senator Rochas Okorocha.

Justice Inyang Ekwo, in a ruling a moment ago, rejected the object of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to Okorocha’s bail application.

Justice Ekwo ordered Okorocha to provide a surety, who will sign and of the same amount.

The judge also granted bail to Okorocha’s co-defendant, Anyim Nyerere Chinenye, on the conditions attached to the administrative bail earlier granted him by the EFCC.

Trial is to commence on November 7.
