In another report, Legit.ng had reported that for Senator Stella Oduah, her legal battle is just about to start as she appeared in court on Monday, February 22, over misappropriating public funds to the tune of N5 billion.
The former aviation minister and current representative of Anambra North senatorial district at the National Assembly was arraigned before Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja.

Legit.ng had also reported that the families and friends of the new acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa, can now have it easy as he has received his promotion letter.
Specifically, he has been promoted to the rank of Chief Detective Superintendent.
This comes ahead of his Senate screening and amid a lawsuit challenging his qualification for the job
Legit.ng also reported that with corruption allegation ushering in a new leadership of the EFCC the anti-graft body defended its newly appointed chairman Bawa.
In a statement by the EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, the commission absolved Bawa of any wrongdoing, adding that the new anti-graft czar has no corruption record.
