The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has re-arraigned Tunde Ayeni, former chairman of the Board of Directors of defunct Skye Bank Plc, now Polaris Bank Limited, before the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Apo, Abuja, over an alleged N15.6 billion fraud.
Ayeni was re-arraigned on Monday before Jude Onwuegbuzie (Justice) on an amended 18-count charge bordering on alleged criminal breach of trust, misappropriation and diversion of depositors’ funds amounting to N15.6 billion.
The anti-graft agency said the fresh arraignment followed the filing of additional proof of evidence in the case.
According to a statement by Dele Oyewale, EFCC spokesman, the prosecution amended the charges after further investigations and submitted additional evidence to support its case against the former bank chief.
At the resumed proceedings, Abba Muhammed, prosecuting counsel, informed the court that the amended charge and supplementary proof of evidence were filed on June 22, 2026.
