The three of them arrived the court at about 8.30am in a bus marked Abuja EWR 633 AT with officials of the Eonomic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) accompanying them.
Hundreds of members of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) , whose three members petitioned the EFCC stormed the court to witness proceedings.
At about 9.15am, the Court clerk read out an 18 count charges and they all pleaded not guilty to the charges.
