A Federal High Court in Kaduna State on Wednesday remanded a former governor of the state in prison.
Ex-governor Ramalan Yero and three others were remanded in prison after they were docked by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The chief judge of the court, Mohammed Shuaibu, said the accused persons should be remanded till June 6.
The three other accused persons are a former minister, Nuhu Way; a former secretary to the state government, Hamza Danma’awuyi; and a former Peoples Democratic Party chairman in the state, Abubakar Haruna.
All the accused pleaded not guilty to the four-count charge of corruption levelled against them by the EFCC.
The four were accused laundering over N700 million allegedly received in the build up to the 2015 elections.
They were brought to court by EFCC around 8:30 a.m.
Their trials follow that of other former governors by the EFCC.
