Agunloye is facing prosecution by the EFCC before Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie of the Federal Capital Territory, (FCT) High Court, sitting in Apo, Abuja on issues bordering on official corruption and fraudulent award of the Mambilla Power Project contract to the tune of $6billion (Six Billion US Dollars).
At the last court proceedings, prosecution counsel, Abba Muhammad, SAN, drew the attention of the court to some amendments in the seven-count charges and additional proofs of evidence advanced against the defendant earlier filed before the court and urged the court to allow the defendant take his plea in the light of the amendments, while defence counsel, Adeola Adedipe, SAN objected to the admission of the amendments on the ground that the business of the day was for cross-examination of the second prosecution witness (PW2), Adewale Agunbiade.
