Punch reports that he told the court that he was suffering from cute diabetes and high blood pressure.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) opposed the ex-minister’s bail application saying that he never complained of any sickness when he was in their custody.
An investigator with the anti-graft agency, Isa Joshua, also told the court that “Moro would frustrate its effort to apprehend others involved in the alleged crime as they were being trailed by EFCC’s operatives.”
The EFCC accused the ex- minister of Interior, Abba Moro of defrauding job seekers of N676,675,000.
Moro was subsequently arraigned in court on Monday, February 29, 2016.
