A Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, on Wednesday led by Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie ordered the remand of a former Minister of Power and Steel, Chief Olu Agunloye, at the Kuje Correctional Centre, Abuja.
The remand order is pending the hearing and determination of his bail application.
Agunloye, who was a minister in the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo and also a former Corps Marshall of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), was recently arrested and detained for some days by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged criminal offences.
The commission had said that it was investigating the former minister over alleged corruption and fraud in the tune of $6 billion Mambilla hydropower contract.
But the minister denied the allegation and pleaded not guilty to the charge read against him.
