EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, said in a statement that the defendants, however, pleaded ‘not guilty’ to the charges when they were read to them.
Counsels for the prosecution, A.I. Arogha and S.O. Saka, told the court about a trial date.
The alleged offence is contrary to Section 320(a) of the Borno State Penal Code Law, Cap. 102, and punishable under Section 322 of the same law.
Justice Fadawu adjourned the matter and ordered the remand of the defendants in a correctional Centre.
