By Daniel Edu

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned Obinna Calistus Okoli, the Chairman of Onitsha/Odekpe Plastic Market Association, for allegedly obtaining N6.7 million under false pretense. The charges include inducing someone to deliver the sum with the promise of allocating four shops in a proposed mall. Okoli and the Plastic Market Association pleaded not guilty to the charges during the arraignment at the Federal High Court in Awka. The EFCC requested a trial date and the remand of the defendants at the Correctional Centre. The defense counsel applied for bail, which will be considered on February 16, 2024. The accused are currently remanded in EFCC custody.
