The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arraigned Olu Agunloye, former minister of power and steel, over allegations of fraud.
According to The PUNCH, the EFCC is investigating Agunloye over the $6 billion Mambilla hydropower contract.
Agunloye was brought before Donatus Okorowo, judge of a federal high court in Abuja, on Wednesday where he pleaded not guilty to the charges read against him.
The former minister has been remanded in Kuje prison pending the perfection of bail conditions.
EFCC had declared Agunloye wanted on December 13 over alleged corruption.
The anti-graft agency had asked members of the public with useful information about Agunloye’s whereabouts to contact the agency.
