The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has re-arraigned former Skye Bank chairman Tunde Ayeni on the amended N15.6 billion fraud charges before the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Apo, Abuja.
The commission re-arraigned him on Thursday before trial judge, Jude Onwuegbuzie, following the latest amendment of the charges.
Thursday’s re-arraignment makes it the third time Mr Ayeni has entered plea to the charges. The
EFCC first arraigned him on 4 May, after which the court remanded him in prison pending the determination of his bail application. It then re-arraigned on 22 June and again on Thursday.
According to a statement by the EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, “The defendant pleaded ‘not guilty’ when the charges were read to him.”
