The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Wednesday re-arraigned embattled Judge of the Federal High Court Lagos, Rita Ajumogobia, on allegations of money laundering.
Ajumogobia was the sole defendant in the amended 15-count charge of money laundering and breach of public trust.
Ajumogobia pleaded not guilty to all the charges
EFCC had on April 18, 2019, arraigned Ajumogobia before Justice Aikawa on an 18-count charge, bordering on breach of trust, false statement and unlawful enrichment
The EFCC had applied before Ajumogobia re-arraignment praying the court to withdraw the name of Godwin Obla, a senior advocate of Nigeria, changed alongside Ajumogobia.
The court has ruled Ajumogobia will continue on conditions of an earlier bail granted.
A trial will continue on April 21 and 28.
