The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will, on February 22, arraign a former Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, at the Federal High Court, Abuja, for alleged financial impropriety totalling more than N9.4billion fraud.

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

Although the arraignment was listed for the day’s sitting, the case could not proceed because the lawmaker was absent as the counsel to the EFCC, Dr Hassan Liman, confirmed to the court that the ex-minister had not been served with the court processes.

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-corruption agency is alleging that Oduah misappropriated public funds while serving as minister.
