CCT: WHY FG WITHDREW CASE AGAINST ORUGBEBE

-           Fresh facts have emerged on why the Federal Government withdrew the charges against Elder Godson Orugbebe, a former Minister of the Niger Delta in the previous administration.

-           Orugbebe was arraigned before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) on allegations of false assets declaration.

-          Reportedly, withdrawing the charges was based on legal advice from the Ministry of Justice, stating that the case constructed and filed, was fundamentally defective.

-          The Ministry’s legal advice was that since Orugbebe was not invited to make a statement on the allegations against him, the process of arraignment was totally flawed.
