Turaki was arraigned before Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja.
But the defendant pleaded not guilty to all 16-counts brought against him, while Okpetu, his special assistant pleaded not guilty to counts 10 to 12. A not guilty plea was also entered for the two companies. Further, Counsel to the second defendant O.M. Atoyebi, SAN, also prayed the court to grant the defendant bail based on self-recognition or on liberal terms in line with the administrative bail granted the defendants by the EFCC.
He, therefore, ordered that the defendants continued to enjoy the administrative bail condition granted them by the EFCC.
