A Federal High Court in Abuja has remanded ‎a former Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mr. Andrew Yakubu, in Kuje Prison pending when ruling on his bail application would be delivered on March 21.

Yakubu was arraigned before Justice Ahmed Mohammed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on a six-count charge bordering on fraud.

The judge gave the order of remand shortly after the ex-NNPC boss was arraigned and his bail application argued on Thursday.
