The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory hearing the alleged corruption case against former Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has fixed December 15th for hearing of his bail application.
The former Minister who was arrested earlier in the week by the anti graft agency had pleaded not guilty to the charges preferred against him.
The Economic and Financial Crimes commission asked the Court to remand him in the custody of the Correctional which was objected to by his counsel, Tim Nkweto, who made an oral application for bail on health grounds.
The Court however agreed with the Commission remanding him in the Kuje Correctional facilty while also setting December 15th for hearing of his bail application.
