The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has announced plans to bring former minister Chris Ngige before a court over alleged financial wrongdoing. According to the anti-graft agency, the move follows months of investigations into transactions linked to his time in public office. The EFCC said all necessary documents and evidence have been prepared ahead of the arraignment.

Officials explained that the charges relate to alleged misuse of funds and breach of public trust. Although the full details of the case have not yet been made public, the EFCC stated that no one is exempt from the law and that all former office holders must answer for their actions. The agency emphasised that its goal is to promote transparency and discourage corruption in the country.

The development has attracted public attention, with many Nigerians watching closely to see how the case will proceed. Some legal analysts noted that the trial will test the strength of ongoing anti-corruption efforts. They added that cases involving high-profile individuals often take time, but they play a key role in shaping public confidence in government institutions.

The EFCC said the former minister will appear in court soon to formally respond to the charges. The agency urged citizens to support the fight against corruption by reporting suspicious activities. It also reassured the public that all procedures will follow due process and that the court will determine Ngige’s innocence or guilt based on available evidence.
