According to a report by SaharaReporters, Onyedinazu was remanded in prison pending the adjourned trial date, October 27, 2016.

Onyedinazu was reportedly arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, before Justice M. A. Liman of the Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, for duping his former boss, who is also a Briton.

He was docked on a nine-count charge bordering on obtaining by false pretense and risks bagging a jail term.
