At Last, Nigerian Govt Charges Babachir Lawal, NIA DG To Court by StateNews: 4:27am On Jan 31, 2019 |
The Federal Government has filed a 10-count charge bordering on allegations of fraud against the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, BabachirLawal, 15 months after he was suspended. It also filed four-count charges of alleged fraud against a former Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, Ayodele Oke, and his wife, Folashade Oke. Mr Oke and his wife will be arraigned before Justice Aneke of the Federal High Court in Lagos on Friday, February 1, 2019, while Mr Lawal will be arraigned before Abuja High Court next week. Mr Lawal was fired as SGF by President Muhammadu Buhari on October 30, 2017 after being indicted and investigated for corruption. President Buhari fired Mr Lawal, more than two months after he received the report of the probe panel he set up and after heavy criticism of how he handles graft allegations against his allies. Vice President Osinbajo who headed the committee that probed Mr Lawal had submitted the report to the President on August 23 .Before being fired, Mr Lawal was on suspension for more than three months to allow for the investigation. He was suspended in April for allegedly violating the law and due process in the award of contracts under the Presidential Initiative on the North East (PINE). In suspending him, the President set up a three-man panel headed by the Vice President. Attorney-General of the Federation and the National Security Adviser were the two other members of the panel. The committee was given 14 days to complete its investigation and submit its report to the President. source : StateReporter News http://www.statereporters.com/2019/01/31/last-nigerian-govt-charges-babachir-lawal-nia-dg-court/

Jege.... This one na just for politics. Which kinda investigation do you use 1 Year and 6 months to carry out? I can bet anything that these cases will be killed after the elections. Still on still sha, Selective fight against corruption is better than no fight at all. I'll always prefer a government that selectively fights corruption to one that takes corruption as a state policy |
