The two defendants appeared before Justice O. A. Egwuatu on an amended five-count charge involving the alleged conversion of Bauchi State government funds totaling over ₦1.63 billion. The defendants were initially arraigned in April 2025, but in the amended charge filed in January 2026, Aliyu Abubakar was listed as the first defendant, while Jaja was named as the second defendant. During proceedings, prosecution counsel Abba Muhammed (SAN) informed the court that a second amended charge had been filed and requested that the defendants take a fresh plea. The charges include allegations that the defendants transferred over ₦1.29 billion from a Bauchi State sub-treasury account into an account linked to Jasfad Resources Enterprises, as well as another ₦426 million in a separate transaction, in alleged violations of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022. Several other suspects mentioned in the charges are reportedly still at large. Both defendants pleaded not guilty to all charges. Following their plea, defence counsel Gordy Uche (SAN) and Chris Uche (SAN) asked the court to allow their clients continue on the bail earlier granted to them, a request the prosecution did not oppose.
