    Emmanuel Osita Okereke self-styled Director General of the National Task Force is to remain in Kuje prison till December 10, 2013 At the resumed hearing in the 6-count charge of personation, forgery and obtaining by false pretence preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Tuesday, November 26, Justice J. Y. Tukur of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Apo, Abuja fixed December 10, 2013 for ruling on the bail application filed by counsel to the duo of Okereke and Ishmael Chinyere Nwogu.

    Kanayo Okafor, defence counsel, had urged the court to grant his client bail as he claimed that the offence was bailable and that the accused persons would be available to face trial.

    After hearing the argument of both the defence and prosecuting counsel, Justice Tukur adjourned to December 10 for ruling while ordering that the accused persons be returned to Kuje prison.
