Former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof. Maurice Iwu, is to be arraigned over alleged case of money laundering.
Iwu, a Nigerian Professor of Pharmacognosy, was INEC chairman between 2005 and 2010.
The planned arraignment was made known by the spokesman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr. Tony Orilade, in a statement.
Although he did not state when the arraignment of the former INEC boss will take take place, he disclosed that it will hold at a Federal High Court in Lagos.
