All the defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges before Justice Ekerete Akpan of the Federal High Court, Abuja, who had just been charged with six counts.

In a coordinated raid on a building in the Next Cash and Carry area of Jahi, Abuja, the suspects were reportedly using sophisticated tools and computers to facilitate criminal activity. The operation was carried out by the Nigeria Police Force.
