Court grants bail to Bauchi AG in N70b fraud case

Published on April 07, 2025 at 02:36 PM

A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to Alhaji Sirajo Jaja, the Accountant General of Bauchi State, who was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged involvement in a N70 billion fraud.

Jaja, who was arraigned in connection with the financial misconduct, was granted bail on the condition that he returns for a scheduled hearing.

The case has drawn attention, with allegations of political motivations behind the arrest, particularly given Jaja's criticism of the federal government's policies.

In connection with the fraud case, two other individuals—Aliyu Abubakar, an unlicensed bureau de change operator, and Sunusi Ibrahim Sambo, a Point of Sale (PoS) operator—were also arrested.
