Hello Friends!
You know how we say it here...Let the Hunt for ''corrupt'' leaders continue...
The coast is now clear for the re-arraignment of former governor of Ogun state, southwest Nigeria, Otunba Gbenga Daniel after Justice O. O. Olopade, Chief Judge of the Ogun State High Court, Abeokuta granted the request of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to prefer information against the former governor.
The EFCC had through its counsel, Rotimi Jacobs filed “Application for Leave to prefer an information under section 340(2) (b) of the criminal procedure laws of Ogun State 2006, charge No. EFCC/01/2012 Federal Republic of Nigeria vs. Otunba Justus Olugbenga Daniel”.
The notice which was dated 30 March 2012 and signed by the Chief Judge gave the Federal Government the go ahead to arraign the former governor.
“I hereby give my consent to the Federal Government of Nigeria to prefer an information against the above-named accused person.
The EFCC has had to seek the leave of the court to prefer an information against Daniel after Justice Olanrewaju Mabekoje of the Ogun State High Court dismissed the 43-count information levelled against the former governor because EFCC purportedly failed to seek the leave of the court to file the amended information.
However, with the consent given by the state chief judge, Gbenga Daniel will now be arraigned before Justice Mabekoje on 16 April 2012 in Abeokuta on 38-count information that borders on abuse of office and misappropriation of public fund when he held sway as the governor of the state between 2003 and 2011.
