Everything points to arraignment — EFCC
official
By Soni Daniel, Regional Editor, North
ABUJA — FormeR Head of Service of the
Federation, HoSF, Mr. Steve Oronsaye,
yesterday, returned to the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC’s custody
ahead of possible arraignment.
Oronsaye was arrested and detained by
operatives of the anti-graft agency,
Wednesday, but released late night and asked
to turn in himself, yesterday.
Vanguard learnt that Oronsaye was, however,
asked to go home at about 6p.m., yesterday,
and asked to report back to the commission
today.
A top official in the commission confirmed to
Vanguard that the former top civil servant
had been taken in, yesterday, and that every
indication pointed to the fact that he would
be formally charged before an Abuja Federal
High Court.
The official said: “Yes, Mr. Oronsaye is with
our operatives preparatory to his arraignment.
He was allowed to go yesterday after
spending a long time and making useful
statement to us. He was ordered to return to
our investigators today and he reported
around 10a.m. today (yesterday)”
It was not clear if he would be arraigned
today or not.
Vanguard learnt that apart from being
associated with the mismanagement of huge
pensions funds, Oronsaye is being
investigated over allegations by top Federal
Government officials that he used his
position as the chairman of the Presidential
Standing Committee on Financial Action
Taskforce to fleece the government.
The anti-graft agency source said: “Oronsaye
is also being interrogated on fresh allegations
of monumental fraud and embezzlement of
funds in the running of a Presidential
Standing Committee on Financial Action
Taskforce, which he chairs.
“The committee is a policy advisory body to
the President on the implementation of the
AML/CFT. Oronsaye allegedly used it as a
conduit to siphon and launder money.
“This fresh lead is triggered by allegations by
some members of the committee who claim
that Oronsaye operated an illegal account in
a first generation bank in the committee’s
name without the knowledge of the members
through which he has laundered hundreds of
millions of naira.”
The renowned bureaucrat has earlier been
questioned in relation to the September 2014
damning 169-page report by the office of the
Auditor General of the Federation claiming
that Oronsaye mismanaged over N123 billion
during his tenure as HoSF.
The report, entitled “Special Audit of the
Accounts of the Civil Pensions,” found Mr.
Oronsaye guilty of allegedly presiding over
the looting of the nation’s resources during Source: www.vanguardngr.com/2015/07/fraud-orosanye-returns-to-efcc-today/ |

Every office holder in this country in the past years was a looter and squanderer. Stealing became glorified and hard work became an abattross. Hat a nation here the elderly are thieves and the youths are the elderly. They should all face the full wraugth of the law even if they are sent to life imprisonment as their actions have killed countless number of Nigerians. |
