The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has ordered Oba Otudeko to take a plea in the charges filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
On Monday, Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke issued the directive.
Recall that Otudeko and three others were charged with 13 counts by the EFCC for allegedly committing a loan fraud of N30 billion.
At the hearing of the matter, the judge said Otudeko must take his plea before an application challenging the court’s jurisdiction on the case can be decided.
The judge subsequently adjourned the case to May 8.
Details later.
