A Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting at Apo remands Tunde Ayeni, the former chairman of the board of directors of the defunct Skye Bank Plc, in Kuje Prison over an alleged fraud case. The court decision follows charges tied to an alleged N15.665 billion fraud, described in reports as around N15.6bn. The case is filed by Nigeria’s anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). According to the accounts, Ayeni is held in prison custody pending the court’s further proceedings. In court, he pleads not guilty to the allegations. Both reports describe the matter as an EFCC-initiated prosecution and present the remand as an interim court action following his arraignment.
