The Federal Government yesterday filed fresh charges against the former Head of Service of the Federation, Mr. Steve Oronsaye, and five others before a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja.
The Federal Government through the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, had earlier filed a 24-count charge against the former head of service, HoS and two other defendants over alleged fraud and money laundering offences involving N1.2bn.
But at the resumption of hearing yesterday, the prosecution counsel, Mr. Adebisi Adeniyi, informed the trial judge, Gabriel Kolawole, that he had filed an amended charge and sought an adjournment to serve the charge on the three new co-defendants who have been included in the fresh charge.
With the filing of the amended charge, the initial 24-count charge has jumped to 35-count, while the number of defendants increased from three to six.
The amended charge dated November 2, has the following defendants: Stephen Oronsaye (1st), Osarenkhoe Afe (2nd), Global Services Limited (3rd), Cluster Logistics Limited (4th), Kangolo Dynamic Cleaning Limited (5th) and Drew Investment and Construction Company Limited.
Opposing the process of filing the amended charge, Oronsaye’s lawyer, Mr. Kola Okeaya-Inneh (SAN) was of the view that the prosecution “cannot file an amended charge without a prior formal application to do so.’’
Ruling on the application, Justice Kolawole said the prosecution could bring an amended charge at the stage of the proceedings without the need to file any formal application for leave of court to do so.
