Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said on 11 November 2026 that it re-arraigned Tunde Ayeni, former chairman of the defunct Skye Bank Plc (now Polaris Bank Limited), before Justice H. Mu'azu of the FCT High Court, Maitama, on an existing 18-count charge of criminal breach of trust, misappropriation and diversion of funds totalling about N15.39 billion. The case was transferred from Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie of the FCT High Court, Apo. According to the counts quoted by the EFCC, Ayeni is alleged to have misappropriated depositors' funds from the bank's suspense account, including about N3.11 billion directed to an account of Misa Limited at Zenith Bank on or about 20 November 2014 and N5.08 billion directed to a Greenwich Registrar account at Union Bank on or about 2 December 2014. Ayeni pleaded not guilty. His counsel asked the court to maintain the bail granted in May 2026, and the prosecution left bail to the court's discretion; Justice Mu'azu adjourned the case to 19 January 2027 for the start of trial. The allegations are unproven.
The EFCC said that on Wednesday 11 November 2026 it re-arraigned Tunde Ayeni, a former chairman of defunct Skye Bank Plc (now Polaris Bank), on 18 counts over an alleged N15.3 billion fraud. He pleaded not guilty. His counsel asked the court to maintain bail granted in May 2026, and the prosecution left bail to the court's discretion; Justice Mu'azu adjourned the case to 19 January 2027 for the start of trial. These are allegations, and a not-guilty plea has been entered.
A re-arraignment and a trial date are not a conviction. Readers should treat named companies that appear only as alleged transfer recipients as uncharged unless an official source says otherwise.
