One of the 80 Nigerians on the
publicized FBI list who were arrested by the United States authorities
last month has been granted bail of $75,000 (₦27, 000,000).
Ifeanyi Agwuegbo was one of the main suspects among the at least 77 Nigerian indicted by the FBI on the 22nd of August.
Some
among the 77 Nigerians on the list have been arrested while the FBI and
EFCC in a joint operation named "Operation Wire Wire" are tracking the
rest that are not yet nabbed.
Preliminary bail application of
Agwuegbo which was heard by an American magistrate, Peter Bray, on the
27th of August wasn't granted because he was not immediately able to
meet the requirements for his bail to be granted.
He was
directed to make a payment of $75,000 (#27. 2 million). He was to
provide at least $5000 deposit out of the whole money. He was also to
provide a guarantor whose signature must be taken before he could be
released.
He was remanded in custody for his inability to meet all these conditions immediately.
