The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will arraign the Chairman of Honeywell Group, Chief Oba Otudeko, and a former Managing Director of First Bank, Olabisi Onasanya for alleged N12.3 billion at the Federal High Court, Lagos, on Monday.

The duo will be arraigned alongside two others on a 13-count charge of fraud for allegedly obtaining the money from First Bank.

Other defendants are the former member of the Honeywell Flour Mills Board of Directors, Soji Akintayo and a company named Anchorage Leisure Limited.

The company was linked to Otudeko.
