MrAJQ:
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) yesterday arrested the immediate-past Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, Daily Trust gathered.

The former SGF, who was picked up by operatives of the agency, is expected to be arraigned today following a charge of conspiracy and fraud levelled against him by the anti-graft agency.

Lawal will be docked before an FCT High Court in Maitama to be presided over by Justice Jude Okeke.

The EFCC had filed a 10-count charge bordering on conspiracy and fraud against him and Hamidu David Lawal, Suleiman Abubakar and two companies, Rholavision Engineering Ltd and Josmon Technologies Ltd.

In the charge filed on January 30 by Offem Uket for the commission, Lawal was alleged to have conspired with Hamidu, a director in Rholavision and Abubakar, a staff in the same company, to fraudulently acquire a property and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 26(1)(c) of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000 and punishable under Section 12 of the same Act.

One of the charges accused Hamidu, Abubakar and Rholavision to have “abet the award of contract to Rholavision Engineering Ltd for the removal of invasive plant species and simplified irrigation to the tune of N6.4million by the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) through the Presidential Initiative for North East (PINE).”

Count 9 of the charge accused Hamidu to have “abet the holding indirectly of a private interest by Engineer Babachir Lawal in the award of a contract to Josmon Technologies Ltd for the removal of invasive plant species and simplified irrigation by OSGF through PINE to the tune of N272.5million.”

Lawal was also accused to have fraudulently acquired a private interest in a contract awarded to Josmon Technologies Ltd.

President Muhammadu Buhari had in October 2017, sacked Lawal following a report of investigations by a panel headed by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, into allegations of fraud leveled against him.

. It is only in this regime that Secretary to the government will be arraigned... Nobody is above the law.. A good legacy of Buhari government. When he leaves in 2023 who will sustain the tempo and momentum? That is a question that only time will answer.

they accused EFCC for not arresting him, now they did, they say is 4days to elections, as if efcc is contesting

they paid pensionners, they say is vote buying

trademoni which is by repayment and not FREE
they say why during election period

they called of ASUU strike, they put it on election mata

he commision some long time project, they say election is close na

he suspend CJN, they fot him n say is becos of election

please PDP goats can you give us the real time table for operation on nigeria

buhari campaign in kano, akwa ibom etc they accused him of renting crowd but PDP is God's crowd

when they see buhari crowd they will start calculating how many percent he will get

all PDP does is to monitor buhati crowd, mistakes, errors and to me u re all making him famous because na only devil or evil spirit they monitor person progress or success or life


you call sensible people zombies whereas u guys are acting like one

if you chased a mad man while you are naked, abeg who they go hold？

otipoju:


This your woss wobi get me in stitches. I tried to imagine it being said verbally in real life.

Buhari is desperate ooo. If the guy looses this election, he will be devastated.The guy fears rejection so much as his sense of worth is hinged on the adulation he receives from his fans.

I feel his handlers have shielded him from reality so much that the Ogun state stoning was a wake up call for him. ..

My brother, I'm still practicing the woooss wobi since I read it!
I love NL because of the big comic relief here.

Sorry, this is done to get votes on Saturday. Nigerians raised alarm about Babachir Lawal, the Senate did their findings & indicted him. EFCC & Mr. Integrity looked the other way. It took Buhari months to setup admin panel headed by Osibanjo, took him months to sack him in Oct 2017, and it has taken him a year & 4 months to be arraigned.
Someone petitions the CJN, no admin panel set up to investigate. Within few days he's arraigned at CCT, President suspends immediately.
Mr Integrity indeed.

I hear you. Why did it take 1year 4months for him to be arraigned? Immediately after Saturday elections, the AGF will query the EFCC lawyer, case withdrawn & closed.
Same thing happened to Ibrahim Umar chairman of CCT, his corruption case withdrawn & closed on the orders of AGF since they knew his help is needed to deal with CJN

Go and sit down. This is a well rehearsed drama.

Since 2016 Oga?

It won't work

Either it will work or not those that believe it will work are in full majority. That's why we're all moving to the next Level

Only zombies believe buhari is actually fighting corruption.

He went to Kano to endorse Ganduje who was caught on camera receiving kick-backs from contractors but he says we should not vote for Atiku because allegedly, he is corrupt!

Buhari was a grave mistake!

oakslid:
This was where the fall out between the Presidency and Dino melaye began.

EFCC didn't see his red carpet treatment at Aso Rock few weeks back�?
This is for the elections.

NIA chief was allowed to to travel out of the country because he took the fall for another. Corruption will catch up with
All those supporting this wicked and corruption laden administration.

WHOM ARE THEY FOOLING

but I hope his bank accounts have been frozen...
family members harassed...

properties forfeited or marked for seizure...
I hope a court order would be gotten to detain him indefinitely...
