EFCC files fresh charges against ex-NIMASA boss

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has files two fresh charges against Akpobolokemi, former NIMASA DG, and yesterday.
About 24 hours after he was re-arrested in front of the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, EFCC slammed two separate charges on Patrick Apkobolokemi, a former Director General of NIMASA and others.
According to a source in one of the new charge filed before a Federal High Court in Lagos, Akpobolokemi faces 40 counts of fraud and money laundering to the tune of N34.5 billion.
In the second charge filed before a Lagos state High Court, Akpobolokemi is accused of stealing N600 million. 
Both charges are yet to be assigned even as the embattled former NIMASA chief battle to secure his release on bail, pending arraignment in court, the source said.
The EFCC disclosed that the commission had to re-arrest the former NIMASA boss following fresh evidence of fraud.
