has arraigned a former commissioner for finance in Kwara State, Ademola Banu, before Justice Evelyn Anyadike of the Federal High Court sitting in Ilorin, over alleged money laundering and misappropriation of state funds to the tune of N1.22billion.

The court, on the said date, took the plea of former governor Abdulfatah on the 12-count charge preferred against him and his finance commissioner by the EFCC and adjourned till April 29, while ordering the prosecution to produce Banu for trial. Jacobs informed the court that the second defendant who was unavailable at the last sitting when his co-traveler, Abdulfatah, was arraigned, was finally in court to take his plea.

In response, Banu’s counsel, Oyewole, prayed the court to discharge the bench warrant earlier issued against his client, which Jacobs did not oppose.In a short ruling, Justice Anyadike vacated the bench warrant on the second defendant, setting the stage for his arraignment. He was, therefore, ordered to enter the dock to take his plea.Following his plea, Oyewole, SAN, moved a motion for the bail of his client.
