The court had issued the arrest warrant requested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on the allegation that Banu refused appearance.

According to the proceedings, the defendants were charged with eleven counts bothering on financial impropriety while in office. They however, pleaded not guilty to all the charges. Banu's counsel sought bail for his client which was later granted at N5m and two sureties in like sum. The counsel, however, pleaded for an adjournment to enable him file some documents that would aid the proper defence of his client. Justice Nmasinulo later adjourned further sitting to June 25 and 26,2024.
