Obiano was arraigned on January 24 on a nine-count charge bordering on alleged money laundering to the tune of N4 billion.
The former governor pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against him.
During the proceedings on Monday,  counsel to Obiano, Onyechi Ikpeazu, SAN, informed the court that he had filed a motion challenging jurisdiction on behalf of his client.
Counsel to the EFCC,  Sylvanus Tahir, SAN, however, said that he had yet to file a reply to the motion because he was served on Monday morning in court.
The trial judge, Justice Ekwo advised the prosecutor to do his part by filing his response to the motion.
