Agency Report/

After so much public outcry the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) today file charges against a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr Babachir Lawal, who was accused of expending N250million on grass cutting.

The charges were filed 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.

Similarly, a former 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 Engineering Ltd are faced with 10 counts, while the Okes are faced with four counts.
