The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission is set to charge over 100 electoral officials for allegedly
receiving part of the $115m (N23bn) disbursed by a former Minister of
Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, during the countdown to the
2015 presidential election.
Sources within the EFCC told our
correspondent that the acting Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu,
and the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof.
Mahmood Yakubu, would meet tomorrow (Thursday) in Abuja to tidy up the
charges that would be filed against the suspects.
While some of the officials would only
face dismissal for breach of INEC rules, a majority of them would be
arraigned by the EFCC.
