The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has said it will on Tuesday arraign a former Head of Service of the Federation, Mr. Steve Oronsaye for an alleged fraud.

According to the EFCC, the new charge is different from the existing charge for which Oronsaye, Osarenkhoe Afe and their accomplices who are being prosecuted before the Federal High court, Abuja on 35-count of fraud and money laundering involving N2bn.

The anti-graft agency said in a statement by its spokesman, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, on Saturday stated that Oronsaye would be arraigned before Justice O. O Goodluck of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja on fresh two counts of corruption and obtaining by false pretences.

The fresh charge followed the completion of investigation by the anti- graft agency on evidence that the former civil servant allegedly abused his position as the Chairman of the Presidential Committee on the Financial Action Task Force to fraudulently obtain a total sum of N190m, being part of the N240m grant which the committee received from the Central Bank of Nigeria.

The retired civil servant has, however, denied the allegations.

In the earlier charge filed in November last year, Oronsaye and his co-accused, are alleged to have been complicit in several contract awards during his tenure as HoS, using two companies – Federick Hamilton Global Services Limited and Xangee Technologies Limited, for shady biometrics enrolment deals to the tune of N2bn.
