N30bn fraud: Court orders Otudeko’s appearance for trial

The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has ordered the founder and chairman of the Honeywell Group, Oba Otudeko, to take a plea in the charges filed against him.

The presiding judge, Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke, made the declaration on Monday, March 17, 2025.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had filed a 13-count charge against Otudeko and three others over an alleged N30 billion loan fraud.
