A former Attorney General of Lagos State, Olasupo Shasore was on Thursday arraigned before a Federal High Court Lagos.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) charged him on a four-count charge of money laundering.
Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke had fixed today for the arraignment. Shasore pleaded not guilty to all counts.
He is accused of inducing one Olufolakemi Adelore to accept $100,000 cash without going through a bank.
Shasore also allegedly gave $100,000 cash to one Ikechukwu Oguine without using a financial institution.
The duo were lawyers for the Ministry of Petroleum Resources and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
