The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on October 08, 2012,
arraigned Dora Gilmaska, a Polish woman, before an Abuja High Court presided by
Justice Abubakar Umar, on a one count charge of fraud. Gilmaska,
Executive Officer of Icon Media and Marketing Agency Limited, is being
prosecuted for issuing dud cheque of N9million to one Tayo Olugbemi.
When arraigned, the accused pleaded not guilty to the offence, prompting
her counsel, Mr. Chris Okoye, to file an application urging the court to
admit his client to bail, pending the determination of the case.
But prosecution counsel, Mr. Samuel Ugwuegbulam, opposed the
application for bail on the grounds that the accused had earlier jumped
administrative bail.
In his ruling, Justice Umar, granted the accused bail in the sum
of five million naira only (N5, 000,000.) and two sureties in like sum. He also
said that one of the sureties must be a civil servant resident in the FCT. The
accused is also to deposit her international passport with the court registrar.
While adjourning the case to Thursday, November 15, 2012, for
commencement of trial, the judge ordered that the accused be remanded in EFCC
custody, pending when she is able to meet the bail conditions.
