The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC will arraign former Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika and his brother on Tuesday.
Recall that a Federal High Court in Abuja granted bail to Sirika; his daughter, and two others in the sum of ₦100 million with two sureties last week.The sureties, according to the court, must have landed properties in Abuja and also responsible citizens.
Justice Oriji ordered that the defendants be remanded in prison custody if they failed to meet their bail conditions.The anti-graft agency then slammed six six-count charges on Hadi Sirika, his daughter, and two others.
