An Abuja High Court on Friday discharged a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal and five others of N544 million grass- cutting fraud.
The EFCC has vowed to appeal against the court's judgement exonerating Babachir Lawal of the N544 million grass-cutting fraud charges that got him sacked as the SGF in 2017.
The EFCC charged them with 10 counts of fraud relating to contract awarded by the Presidential Initiative for the North-East (PINE) for the removal of evasive plant species to the tune of N544 million.
