Former Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr. Mohammed Adoke  has pleaded not guilty to the amended charges of money laundering preferred against him.

He is being re-arraigned with Aliyu Abubakar before Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja. The two defendants pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

The EFCC had in June filed an additional seven charges against the former AGF over money laundering allegations involving about N400 million.

In the former seven counts, the EFCC alleged that the defendants committed the money laundering offences involving over N400 million in Abuja in September 2013.

The former AGF was among other things, accused of making structured cash payments, in 22 tranches amounting to N80 million, and other such structured payments in 13 tranches summing up to N50 million into his Unity Bank account.

He was granted bail by the Federal High Court in Abuja on February 10, 2020, in the sum of N50m with one surety in like sum.

The court has however fixed August 11, 12, and 13 for the trial of the former AGF and Mr. Abubakar.
