The Federal Capital Territory High Court presisdes over by Justice Abubakar Umar on Thursday ordered that a Polish woman, Mrs. Dora Gilmaska be remanded in the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission custody till November 26.

According to report, the judge gave the order after he withdrew the bail granted Gilmaska because she failed on two occasions to appear in court for her trial.

“I remember that on September 26 the EFCC applied for the bench warrant because the accused could not be located. I issued a bench warrant for her arrest,’’ the judge said.

The judge then ordered the accused counsel to file a written application, stating reasons why the court should admit her to bail again.

“The accused is hereby remanded in EFCC custody pending hearing of the application by the accused counsel,’’ Umar said, and adjourned the case to November 26 for hearing.

The EFCC is prosecuting Gilmaska,  Executive Officer of Icon Media and Marketing Agency Limited, for allegedly forging and issuing a dud cheque of N 9 million to one Tayo Olugbemi in 2012.
