Former Nigeria’s Head of Service, Steve Oronsaye, was on Tuesday rearrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC for allegedly obtaining money by false pretence and also for corrupt practices.

Oronsaye is accused of obtaining the sum of N240 million from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), using his position as the chairman of the Presidential Committee on Financial Action Task Force.
