On Thursday, Justice MaryAnne Anenih granted the former governor bail of N500 million.
Anenih stipulated that Bello must provide three sureties, each owning property in select high-value areas of Abuja, including Maitama, Guzape, or Asokoro.
The judge also ordered Bello to surrender his passport and restricted his travel outside Nigeria without prior permission.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, had arraigned Bello along with Shuaibu Oricha and Abdulsalam Hudu on a 16-count charge of conspiracy, criminal breach of trust, and unlawful possession of property.
All three pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Justice Anenih had previously rejected Bello’s initial bail application on procedural grounds but granted bail to his co-defendants.
