The Federal Government is set to arraign the acting Registrar-General of the Cooperate Affairs Commission (CAC), Azuka Obiageli, before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), on December 18.

The CAC boss will be arranged on assets declaration-related charges.

The CCT’s Head of Press and Public Relations, Ibraheem Al-Hassan, said this in a statement today.

Al-Hassan said that the CCT Chairman, Danladi Umar, had on November 27, 2019 approved the December 18 date for the arraignment, adding that the defendant had been served with the tribunal’s summons yesterday.

According to him, Obiageli was charged with 11 counts of violating “the provisions of Paragraph 1, 9 and 11 (1) (a), (2), of the Fifth Schedule, Part1 and punishable under paragraph 18 (1) and (2) of the Constitution.”

The statement further discloses that the 11 counts bordered on “alleged infraction of asset declarations”.

It adds that “the charge was signed by the operative of the Code of Conduct Bureau, Musa Ibrahim Usman, on November 20, 2019, for the Hon. Attorney General of the Federation”.

The statement also said that a Deputy Director of Federal Ministry of Youths and Sports, Mohammed Al-Hassan, would be arraigned on the same date on two counts
