Babarinde was arraigned by the EFCC,  alongside his company, Ajays Engineering Limited and one Suleiman Muhammed, (who is currently at large)

  before Justice Mahmud Abdulgafar of the Kwara State High Court in Ilorin on eight –count charges bordering on obtaining under false pretences. .

But, findings by the EFCC revealed that the letters were forged and never emanated from the said government agencies.

 

It was gathered that the defendants had obtained money to the tune of N170million from the petitioner as capital to execute the non-existent contracts. All attempts to recover the money however proved abortive.

The defendant pleaded not guilty to all the charges when they were read to him

 

Following his plea, counsel to the EFCC, Rasheedat Alao urged the court to remand the defendant (Babarinde) in the custody of the Nigeria Correctional Service and give a date for trial to enable the prosecution to prove its case.

 

Justice Abdulgafar ordered that the defendant be remanded at the Correctional Service and adjourned the case till March 13, 2024 for trial.
