In a turn of events, a Federal High Court in Abuja has mandated the detention of Olu Agunloye, the Former Minister of Power and Steel, at the Kuje Correctional Service. The move follows charges brought forth by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), accusing Agunloye of involvement in fraudulent activities related to the Mambilla Power Project.
Agunloye, facing these allegations, appeared before the Federal High Court in Abuja and vehemently pleaded not guilty to the charges laid against him. The case revolves around the intricate details of the Mambilla Power Project, and this development marks a critical juncture in the legal proceedings surrounding the ex-minister’s alleged misconduct.
