A Federal High Court in Abuja is ordering the former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh to be remanded in Kuje prison pending determination of his bail application on March 10. Justice Okon Abang gave the order after Economic and Financial Crimes Commission arraigned Badeh on 10-count charge of money laundering.
Badeh pleaded not guilty when the charges were read to him. EFCC is prosecuting Badeh and a firm, Iyalikam Nigeria Limited, for fraudulently removing 3.97 billion naira from the account of the Nigerian Air Force in 2013.
