Former NNPC GMD To Be Charged To Court On Thursday By EFCC

The former Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Andrew Yakubu will on Thursday be arraigned before a Federal High court in Abuja by The  Economic and Financial  Crimes Commission, EFCC,

Mr Yakubu is being arraigned by the EFFC  for a 6 count charge bordering on fraud and false declaration of assets which is in relation to the N3.7billion  recovered from the former NNPC boss.

On February 3, some EFCC operatives following a tip off, stormed a building in a slum in Kaduna State, belonging to Mr. Yakubu  where the sum of N3.7billion in dollars and pounds was recovered.

Yakubu  who was arrested by the EFCC, has since remained in the custody of the  anti graft agency, where he had filed a suit against the Agency for keeping him its custody without charging him.

The former GMD had said through his lawyer that his continual stay in EFCC  custody was an infringement  on his fundamental human right, since the money in question was his.
