According to the anti-graft agency, the defendant was initially meant to be arraigned by the EFCC on March 7, when the trial judge observed that, ‘all charges are under the ICPC Act not that of the EFCC’ and consequently ordered that the charge is either amended or transferred to the appropriate authority for prosecution.
