EFCC Re-Arraigns Francis Atuche And Two Others In Lagos State

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has re-arraigned a former managing director of the defunct Bank PHB Plc (now Keystone Bank Limited), Francis Atuche and two others: Nnosiri Joachim and Uguru Onyike before Justice Olubunmi Abike-Fadipe of the Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos.
They were rearraigned on a nine-count charge bordering on alleged conspiracy to commit felony and forgery.
They were originally arraigned before Justice Habeeb Abiru before he was upgraded as a Justice of the Court of Appeal. The case consequently started afresh with Justice Adeniyi Onigbanjo who has now retired, prompting the transfer of the case file to Justice Abike-Fadipe.
When the charge was read to them on Monday, all the defendants pleaded not guilty.
Prosecution counsel, Fanen Anum asked the court for a trial date.
But, the counsel to the first defendant, Anthony Ejere, prayed the court to allowed his client enjoy the earlier bail granted him by the court, despite the fact he was still a convict in another matter.
