Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court on Monday declined to hear the preliminary objection raised by former Minister of Power and Steel, Olu Agunloye, on his trial for alleged $ billion fraud.
Agunloye had in a motion filed through his lawyer, Adeola Adedipe (SAN), challenged the powers of the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to prosecute him on the alleged $6 billion Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Station fraud.
He also sought an order restraining the commission from prosecuting him on the charge.
