EFCC moves to arraign Senator Shehu Sani in Court today

There are fillers that Senator Shehu Sani is billed to appear before a Federal High Court in Abuja today over allegations of extorting money from owner of ASD Motors, Sani Dauda, ABUJAPEOPLE has gathered.
It was gathered that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had filed charges against the lawmaker at Court 5 bordering on misrepresentation and obtaining money by false pretence.
It was gathered that the commission deliberately abandoned the charges it filed at the FCT High Court with a view to frustrating the application for rights enforcement filed by Sani so as to further detain him.
The detention order earlier obtained against the senator by the anti-graft agency will expire on Monday.
After first obtaining a 14-day order to keep Sani, the EFCC secured an order to further keep him for extra five days while investigation into the matter continued.
The court had slated Sani’s rights enforcement application for Tuesday for hearing, while the legal team of the senator was yet to be served with any charge and proof of evidence till this moment.
The senator had on January 16 filed the enforcement of his fundamental rights over his continued detention by the commission, which he described as illegal and a breach of section 35 (5) of the constitution.
