A Federal Judge sitting in Abuja, Nigeria has ordered that the former NNPC boss, Andrew Yakubu, be remanded in Kuje prison pending the determination of his bail application on March 21.
Yakubu was, on Thursday, arraigned on a six-count charge of fraud before Justice Ahmed Mohammed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commisssion (EFCC) after he admitted owning over $9.8 million cash found in a house that also belongs to him in Kaduna State.
He pleaded not guilty to the 6-count charge filed by the EFCC.
