Uwujaren identified the three other accused persons as the state PDP Chairman, Dan Orbih; Tony Azigbemi and Efe Erimuoghae Anthony.

“Though, the arraignment was earlier scheduled for May 16, but the case was adjourned till May 24, for arraignment due to the absence of Ize-Iyamu and Orbih in court.

“At the last court sitting, counsel to Orbih, Chief Ferdinard Orbih (SAN), told the court that his client was outside the shores of Nigeria attending to his health needs.

“The same argument was canvassed by Ikhide Ehighelua, counsel to Ize-Iyamu, who told the court that his client was outside the country attending to his health.”

The EFCC spokesperson said the commission is seeking to prosecute the five top PDP members in Edo for receiving the N700 million without any contract award.
