A member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Nicholas Mutu was on Monday arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission before a Federal High Court in Abuja.
Hon Nichols Mutu is the current Chairman of the House Representatives Committee on Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
Mutu was arraigned on a charge in which he was accused of involvement in about N400million money laundering and receiving kickbacks from NDDC contractors.
Mutu, who has been the Chairman of the House Committee on NNDC since 1999, pleaded not guilty to the charge, following which Justice Folashade Giwa-Ogunbanjo allowed him to remain on the administrative bail earlier granted him by the EFCC.
