The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will on Thursday re-arraign former Federal High Court Judge, Rita Ofili Ajumogobia before a Federal High Court in Lagos. The development comes barely a day after Ajumogobia was arrested by the anti-graft agency after an Ikeja High Court struck out corruption charges against her. Ajumogobia for several years served as a Judge at the Federal High court in Ikoyi Lagos where she would be re-arraigned on Thursday.
