EFCC To Arraign Ex Aviation Minister Senator Stella Oduah

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is set to arraign a former Minister of Aviation, Senator Stella Oduah at the Federal High Court, Abuja, for alleged financial impropriety.

Justice Inyang Ekwo fixed February 22 for the arraignment because the former minister was yet to be served with the court processes

The lawyer, therefore, prayed for an adjournment to enable the anti-graft agency serve the legislator.

“My Lord, the matter has been set out today for arraignment but I have been informed by the commission that the first defendant (Oduah) is yet to be served”.

Oduah, who currently represents Anambra North Senatorial District at the National Assembly, is facing the fraud charge alongside eight others in a suit with number: FHC/ABJ/CR/316/20.

The anti-graft agency is alleging that Oduah misappropriated public funds while serving as a minister.

Inyang Ekwo, the presiding judge, emphasized that it is the responsibility of the prosecution to bring the accused persons to face trial.
