Abuja, Nigeria – March 4, 2025 – A Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court sitting in Apo has issued a warning to a former Deputy Director of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), threatening to revoke his bail over alleged non-compliance with court conditions.
Justice H. A. Musa, who presided over the case, expressed concerns about the defendant’s failure to fully adhere to the bail terms, stressing that any further violations could lead to immediate revocation.
Background of the Case
The ex-JAMB official, whose name was not disclosed in court records, was previously granted bail after facing misconduct-related charges linked to his tenure at the examination board. The nature of the allegations suggests possible administrative breaches or financial improprieties, though specific details remain undisclosed.
During the latest hearing, Justice Musa emphasized that bail is not a license for non-compliance, warning the defendant that his conduct will be closely monitored.
Court Issues Final Warning
The court has now set a subsequent hearing date to assess whether the defendant has met all the conditions required of him. Justice Musa made it clear that failure to comply would result in immediate detention and revocation of bail.
Legal experts believe this ruling underscores the judiciary’s commitment to accountability, particularly in cases involving public officials entrusted with sensitive national examinations like JAMB.
The case remains ongoing, with the next hearing expected to determine the fate of the former JAMB official’s bail status.
