Badeh was originally meant to be arraigned before the Abuja Federal High Court today, March 3, but the trial was shifted due to the absence of presiding judge, Justice Okon Abang.

Justice Abang is said to have embarked on an official trip outside Abuja.

Badeh is facing 10 counts of money laundering as well as charges of criminal breach of trust and corruption.

The former CDS has been accused of participating in the $2.1 billion arms deal fraud which was allegedly supervised by former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki.

Badeh has however denied the charges against him and is claiming that he is being persecuted.
