The others are former director of finance at the office of the NSA, Shuaibu Salisu; a former Group General Manager of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Aminu Baba Kusa; and two firms, Acacia Holdings Limited and Reliance Reference Hospital.

The accused were taken to court to answer 19-count charge levelled against them by the Federal Goverment.

According to Justice Husseini Baba Yusuf, who granted the suspects bail, they must produce a surety each who must be a serving or retired civil servant not lower than the rank of a director and the sum of N250 million.

The civil servant must also show possession of a property within the FCT worth the same amount.
