The EFCC had arraigned Shasore, who served as AG during the administration of former Governor Babatunde Fashola, before the court on a four-count charge.

The anti-graft agency alleged in the charge that the defendant induced a former Legal Director at the Petroleum Ministry, Olufolakemi Adetore, in accepting cash payment of the sum of $100,000 without going through a financial institution.

The EFCC claimed that the defendant made a cash payment of  $100,000 to Adelore through Auwalu Habu and Wole Aboderin.

The sums which the anti-graft agency maintained exceeded the amount permitted by Law.

The defendant, who was said to have committed the offences on or about November 18, 2014, pleaded not guilty.
