The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) re-arraigns Tunde Ayeni, a former Chairman of the Board of Directors of defunct Skye Bank Plc (now Polaris Bank Limited), before a Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja over alleged fraud totalling N15.6 billion. The re-arraignment takes place before Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie at the court’s Apo division, where the prosecution presents an amended charge and supplementary proof of evidence. Sources report that the amended charge increases the matter to 18 counts. Prosecution counsel Abba Muhammed informs the court that the amended charge and additional proof of evidence are filed on June 22, 2026, with defence counsel confirming receipt of the documents. The allegations include offences such as criminal breach of trust, misappropriation and diversion of funds, including claims that Ayeni dishonestly transferred N510 million from the bank’s suspense account to Capital Field Investment Group Limited in September 2014, and N600 million to Harigold Ventures Limited. Ayeni pleads not guilty to all charges. The court adjourns the case until July 6, 2026, for the commencement of trial. Earlier, Ayeni was first arraigned on May 4, 2026, on 17 counts.
