He was rearrested at the premises of the Federal High Court, Abuja, by officers of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission.

It was unclear as of press time why he was re-arrested, however, Vanguard reported that the Commission had earlier obtained a warrant for his arrest.

It was also gathered that the arrest order was issued by the Chief Judge of the high court, Justice John Tsoho, following an ex-parte application that was brought by the commission.

The former Jamb boss has been standing trial on an 18 – count charge bordering on diversion of public funds to the tune of N5 billion.

Meanwhile, during today’s sitting, a former Deputy Director of Finance at the JAMB office, Mr Jimoh Olabisi, made some indicting revelations.

Olabisi who appeared as a witness in the trial disclosed new information that were not part of the charge already pending against the defendant.

A source at the ICPC told the Vanguard that, “There are still so many things that we want the Defendant to explain but because he has been on bail, he has been reluctant to make himself available to the
Commission.

“As a law-abiding institution, we approached the court and obtained a warrant for his arrest. It is that warrant that we have executed.”
