The court also stated that the defendants shall sign an undertaken that they will abide by the bail conditions by the EFCC.
Justice Ajayi ordered that the defendants should not have and shall not procure alternate passports until the case is expensed, having deposited their original passports to the commission.
Ajayi gave the ruling on grounds that the allegations against the defendants are yet to be proven.
The court also stated that in line with the rule of law, the defendants are entitled to bail in spite of allegations against them, since the prosecution did not mention that the defendants misbehaved while in EFCC custody.
Trial began immediately after ruling on bail.
