Former Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chris Ngige, has been remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre pending the hearing of the bail application.
Justice Mariam Hassan of the Federal Capital Territory High Court issued the remand order on Friday, after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraigned the ex-Anambra governor in court over a N2.2bn corruption allegation.
The judge adjourned the case to Monday, 15th December, for the hearing of the bail application.
Ngige was arraigned on an eight-count charge.
