The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday commenced the presentation of evidence in the alleged N15.6 billion fraud case against Tunde Ayeni, former Chairman of the Board of Directors of the defunct Skye Bank Plc.
This was as it called its first prosecution witness before the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Apo, Abuja.
Ayeni is standing trial before Jude Onwuegbuzie (Justice) on an 18-count amended charge bordering on alleged criminal breach of trust, misappropriation, and diversion of funds amounting to N15.6 billion.
The anti-graft agency had initially arraigned the former bank chairman on May 4, 2026, on a 17-count charge.
However, he was re-arraigned on June 22, 2026, after the commission amended the charge and filed additional proof of evidence to support its case.
