In a statement by the Head, Media and Publicity EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren on Tuesday, it said that Edun allegedly secured a contract for his company, Zarab Ventures Limited, for drilling of 43 motorized boreholes across different locations in the state under the Millennium Development Goals Conditional Grant Scheme, to the tune of N82.5 million between 2008 and 2009, but abandoned the projects after collecting 90 percent of the contract sum.
However, Edun pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to him.
Upon his plea, counsel to EFCC, Abdallah Faruk urged the court to fix a date for him to present his witnesses. The counsel to the accused, Salman Jawondo asked the court to admit the accused person to bail.
