Justice Maryam Hassan delivered the ruling during a bail application filed by Ngige’s lead counsel, Patrick Ikwueto (SAN).
The court directed that Ngige must produce a surety who is a Federal Government director and owns a landed property.
The surety is required to deposit the property’s title documents and his travel documents with the court until Ngige retrieves his international passport.
Previously, the EFCC had granted Ngige bail on self-recognition and required him to submit travel documents and provide a surety.
