The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned former Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke, on a fresh six-count charge bordering on money laundering.
Adoke was re-arraigned on Monday alongside Aliyu Abubakar at the Federal High Court, Abuja before Justice Binta Nyako.
Mr Abubakar, the second defendant, is being charged on one count.
After the duo pleaded not guilty to the charges, prosecutor Bala Sanga urged the court to remand the defendants in EFCC’s custody pending hearing of the matter.
However, counsel to the defendants urged the judge to dismiss the request and grant them bail.
