Lamido and sons were in court yesterday

Former governor of Jigawa state, Sule Lamido and his two sons, Aminu and Mustapha, appeared before the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Tuesday.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, re-arraigned the trio over a 28-count charge of corruption, money laundering, and illegal diversion of public funds to the tune of N1.35 billion.

Lamido and his sons were previously arraigned on July 9 and sent to prison by Justice Evelyn Anyadike of the Kano Division of the high court.

Subsequently, Justice Gabriel Kolawole, entertained the case as a vacation judge, and granted Lamido bail on self-recognition.

Lamido and his sons were released from prison on July 14, after spending 5 days behind bars.

However, on Tuesday, they entered a fresh plea to an amended 27-count criminal charge against him by the anti-graft agency.

Justice Adeniyi has now fixed October 9 to commence hearing on the substantive charge against them.
