Beji was arraigned by the Economic and Fianacial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for allegedly aiding former governor of the state, Babaginda Aliyu in fraudulent activities.
Against this backdrop, Beji’s counsel, Olajide Ayodele prayed the court to release his client on self-recognition.
However, EFCC counsel, Gbolahan Latona had opposed the application on the grounds that the offence for which the PDP boss was charged was not bailable by virtue of section 341 subsection 2 of the criminal procedure code.
The trial judge, Justice Aliyu Maiyaki remanded Beji in in prison till Friday when he will rule on his application for bail.
Maiyaki also ruled that the court has jurisdiction to hear the suit brought against Aliyu, his former Chief of Staff, Umar Mohammed Nasko and Beji.
“The basis for which the application was made did not exist.
