Popular music promoter Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu ThankGod, known as Eezee Tee, has been arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) before the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos. He and his company, Eezee Global Concepts Limited, face a **seven-count charge** related to alleged **foreign exchange violations and money laundering** totaling **$397,106**.
The case, initially handled by Justice Owoeye, was reassigned to Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke for further proceedings. Among the charges, Eezee Tee is accused of negotiating a foreign exchange transaction worth **$52,895** in **June 2023** without authorization from the **Central Bank of Nigeria**. Another charge alleges that in **2024**, his company failed to declare financial activities involving **$137,383** deposited into its account.
Eezee Tee pleaded **not guilty** to all charges. The prosecution, led by **Bilkisu Buhari-Bala**, requested that the defendant be **remanded in a correctional center**, while the defense, represented by **Chikaozolu Ojukwu, SAN**, sought bail on **liberal terms**. The EFCC opposed bail, citing the defendant’s alleged **evasion of service** and failure to respond to previous invitations.
Justice Aneke **adjourned the bail ruling to May 9, 2025**, and temporarily released Eezee Tee into his lawyer’s custody.
