The Lagos Zonal Directorate 1 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday, October 13, 2025, arraigned one Ugoh Christogonus Onyewuchi and his company, C-PAC Integrated Service Nigeria, before Justice Olubunmi Abike-Fadipe of the Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos.
Onyewuchi and his company were docked on a two-count charge bordering on the retention of proceeds of criminal conduct and stealing to the tune of ₦215,800,000 (Two Hundred and Fifteen Million, Eight Hundred Thousand Naira).
According to the EFCC, the defendants allegedly retained and converted the said sum, which represents proceeds of illegal activity, in violation of the provisions of the Criminal Law of Lagos State and the EFCC Establishment Act.
When the charges were read to him, Onyewuchi pleaded not guilty.
In view of his plea, the prosecution counsel requested a trial date and asked that the defendant be remanded in a correctional facility pending the determination of his bail application.
Justice Abike-Fadipe adjourned the case to a later date for the commencement of trial and ordered that the defendant be remanded in the custody of the Nigerian Correctional Service.
The EFCC has continued to intensify efforts in its anti-corruption campaign, warning individuals and corporate bodies against involvement in financial crimes and fraudulent activities.
