The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is set to arraign the immediate former Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, his daughter, Fatimah, and two other suspects in court on thursday.
The suspects are facing charges over alleged N2.7 billion contract fraud uncovered in the Aviation Ministry under Sirika.
In a document sited by ait.live from sources close to the EFCC, the embattled former Minister would be arraigned for trial for the first time, before Justice Sylvanus Oriji of the Federal High Court in Abuja on thursday along with some of his relatives.
Sirika is billed to appear in court with his three co-defendants, his daughter, Fatima, one Jalal Hamma and Al-Duraq Investment Ltd, on charges of abusing their positions to launder over 2.7 billion naira while the Minister was in office.
