The couple alongside their company, Oneplus Holding Limited, were arraigned on seven counts bordering on money laundering and fraud.

While the court ruled that Stella could continue to enjoy the administrative bail earlier granted her by the EFCC, the judge adjourned till Wednesday to rule on the bail application for Azibaola. – Punch
