EFCC takes Babachir to court

The EFCC has filed fraud charges against a former SGF Babachir Lawal at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja.

The charges against Lawal are coming over one year after the former SGF was sacked by President Muhammadu Buhari, following public outcry.

A firmer Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ayodele Oke, and his wife, Mrs Folashade Oke, were dragged before the Federal High Court in Lagos.

Reports say Lawal and five others, including his company, Rholavision Engieneering Ltd are faced with 10 counts, while the Okes are faced with four counts.

The presidency sacked Lawal and Oke following a report of investigations by a panel headed by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo into allegations of fraud leveled against them in 2017
