The President Muhammadu Buhari government has finally charged former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Babachir Lawal, to court.
This is coming sixteen months after Babachir was indicted for corruption in a report by a panel headed by the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission ( EFCC ) on Wednesday slammed a 10-count charge against the former SGF and five others before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
