The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested a former Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Steve Oronsaye, over a fresh N240 million fraud.
Oronsaye has been under the radar of the EFCC for another fraud case over which he has been slammed with a 24 counts charge of money laundering.
He was arrested again on Tuesday based on fresh evidence of another N240 million fraud.
He was accused of abusing his position as the Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Financial Action Task Force by obtaining N240 million from the Central Bank of Nigeria in the guise of assistance to the committee without the knowledge of other committee members.
He was then said to have converted the money to his personal use.
