A High Court sitting in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has ordered that a former Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF), Mr. Ahmed Idris, be remanded in the Kuje Medium Security Custodial Centre.
Justice Adeyemi Ajayi gave the order after Idris was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Friday.
The former AGF was arraigned on a 14-count charge bordering on criminal breach of trust and money laundering.
Idris will remain in the Kuje prison pending the determination of his bail application.
The case was adjourned to July 27, for hearing of the bail application.
Idris was arrested by the EFCC in May, while still serving as Accountant General of the Federation, over an alleged N84 billion fraud.
The EFCC said he committed the fraud through bogus consultancies and other illegal activities, using family members and associates.
Idris was also accused of laundering the stolen money through real estate investments in Abuja and Kano State.
The EFCC further alleged that Idris collected N15 billion bribe to facilitate the payment of 13 per cent derivative fund to nine oil producing states.
