Also joined in the suit is a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, who is said to be at large.

The defendants were first arraigned on Jan. 16, 2018, before Muslim Hassan on a 24-count charge to which they pleaded not guilty.

Following an application filed by the defendants, the case was transferred to Chukwujekwu Aneke.

The EFCC accused the defendants of conspiring to take possession of N650 million crime proceeds.

The commission added that the defendants took possession of the sum without going through a financial institution.
