The Federal High Court in Lagos has instructed Oba Otudeko to appear before the court and enter a plea in response to the charges filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The directive was issued on Monday by Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke.
The EFCC had previously filed a 13-count charge against Otudeko and three others over an alleged N30 billion loan fraud.
During the proceedings, the judge ruled that Otudeko must take his plea before the court could address an application contesting its jurisdiction in the matter.
The case has been adjourned to May 8.
