Badeh is one of the
former military chiefs allegedly indicted by the Presidential Committee
established to audit the procurement of arms for the military between
2007 and 2015.
The judge, Justice John Tsoho, in his ruling, held that the applicant
was currently held based on remand order from a Magistrates’ Court in
Lagos.
“This court has not been approached to undertake a judicial review of
the remand order, and therefore, lacks the power to make a pronouncement
on it.
“From the face value of this application, the applicant has simply
sought the intervention of the court to admit him on bail.
“In the circumstance, the application remains vague due to the
subsisting remand order. It is hereby struck out,’’ Tsoho held.
Badeh had urged the court to grant him bail on grounds of unlawful
detention and ill-health.
Badeh, who has been in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission in Lagos since Feb. 8, was accused of fraudulent transactions
with the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency. (NAN)
