N9 million scam: Nigerian Court revokes Polish woman’s bail

The EFCC is prosecuting Dora Gilmaska for issuing a dud cheque.
An FCT High Court on Thursday revoked the bail it granted to a Polish woman, Dora Gilmaska, for absconding from trial on two occasions.
Ms. Gilmaska was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for issuing N9 million dud cheque to one Tayo Olugbemi in 2012.
Justice Abubakar Umar, therefore, ordered that the accused be arrested and remanded in Suleja Prison.
He also ordered that the surety must appear before the court on the next adjourned date to explain reasons for her absence on the two occasions.
The EFCC counsel, Sam Ugwuegulam, told the court that the case was slated for adoption of written address.
Mr. Ugwuegulam drew the attention of the court that the accused was not in court and did not appear on October 8, 2013 and on February 17.
He, therefore, urged the court to revoke her bail, arguing that “this is not the first time the accused is jumping bail and no reason was given for her absence”.
The counsel to the accused, Tina Debai, did not oppose the submission of the EFCC counsel.
“My lord, all our efforts to reach the accused was unsuccessful,” she said.
The Judge further adjourned the case until June 10 for hearing
