court processes, he did not give further details.

from a Federal High Court room in Lagos on Friday. A former Minister of
Finance,  Nenandi Usman, one Danjuma Yusuf and a company, Joint Trust

and unlawful payment of money to the tune of about N4.9 billion, a
charge they denied.

evidence for the day, and the case adjourned till Nov. 14 and Nov. 15
for continuation of hearing. And shortly after the accused left the courtroom, two officers of the EFCC
dressed in white Kaftans, flanked his sides and requested that he
followed them to the commission.
He has been in the commission’s custody since then. (NAN)
