EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Wednesday told a Lagos High Court that its cells had become overcrowded by suspected fuel subsidy fraudsters who were granted bail by the courts but have yet to meet the bail conditionalities.

At the hearing of the bail application for four suspects arraigned at the Ikeja High court for fraud related offences, the commission said the suspects should be kept in prison while they try to meet their bail conditions because its cell already swarms with subsidy fraudsters.

Rotimi Jacobs, counsel to the EFCC, told the court that Messrs Anayo Nwosu, Ashok Isran, Olajide Oshodi, and Sunny Obazee should be kept in prison pending fulfillment of their bail conditions.
