A former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party , Bello Mohammed, was on Monday re-arraigned at a Federal High Court , Abuja in an alleged N300m. He was put on fresh trial by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission . Mohammed was re-arraigned before Justice Peter Lifu on a four-count charge bordering on his alleged role in the diversion of funds meant for the procurement of arms through the office of the ex-National Security Adviser , Sambo Dasuki.
After the charge was read to the defendants, they pleaded not guilty to all the counts and Atolagbe applied for a trial date. Agabi, however, prayed the court to allow Mohammed continue on existing bail granted by Justice Ahmed Mohammed. The senior lawyer said that Mohammed did not flout the earlier bail conditions granted him and that he would not jump bail. Although Atolagbe did not oppose Agabi’s application, he however argued that his bail was once revoked for breaching the terms.
