The anti-graft agency also alleged that the ex-minister accepted gift of properties described as penthouse 22, Block B, Admiralty Estate, Ikoyi, and penthouse 21, building 5, Block C, Banana Island, Lagos.

According to EFCC, the alleged offence contravened the provisions of sections 26 (1) and 17 of the EFCC Act, 2000.
