Justice Olukayode Adeniyi admitted Emefiele to bail in a ruling delivered on Wednesday and handed him to his lawyers, Matthew Burkaa (SAN), Johnson Usman (SAN), and Magaji Ibrahim (SAN), with an order to produce him in court on November 15 when he is scheduled to be arraigned before another judge of the High Court of the FCT in a charge earlier filed by the EFCC against him and one other.
