The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is set to arraign a former Minister of
Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode; a former Minister of Finance, Senator Nenadi
Usman; a firm, Joint Trust Dimensions Limited; and one Jimoh Yusuf for an
alleged N1.5bn fraud.
The
anti-graft commission will on Wednesday arraign a former Senior Special
Assistant on Domestic Affairs to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Mr.
Waripamowei Dudafa, for an alleged N1.6bn fraud.
An
impeccable source at the anti-graft agency told Punch that Fani-Kayode, Usman
and Yusuf would be charged with 17 counts bordering on money laundering and
fraud.
The
source added, “We have filed charges against Fani-Kayode, Usman, Yusuf and a
company, Joint Trust Dimensions Limited. Yusuf was the signatory to the account
of Joint Trust Dimensions Limited. They will be arraigned before a Federal High
Court in Lagos this week.”
The
EFCC had arrested Fani-Kayode and Usman for their role in the sharing of a N4bn
campaign fund during the build-up to the 2015 presidential election.
The
money was said to have emanated from the account of the Office of the National
Security Adviser domiciled in the Central Bank of Nigeria.
