The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) today called its first witness in the fresh trial of a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Engineer Babachir Lawal, before Justice Charles Agbaza of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), sitting at Jabi, Abuja.
The defendants were re-arraigned on Monday, November 30, 2020, before Justice Agbaza by the anti-corruption commission alongside five others for an alleged N544million grass-cutting contract fraud following the death of Justice Jude Okeke, who was handling the case before he passed on on August 4, 2020.
The former SGF is standing trial alongside his younger brother, Hamidu David Lawal, who is a director of Rholavision Engineering Limited; an employee of the company, Suleiman Abubakar, and the Managing Director of Josmon Technologies Limited, Apeh John Monday and the two companies.
