The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), says it will appeal against the Federal High Court judgment, which acquitted a former Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mr Stephen Oronsaye, of N2 billion fraud.
The EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, made this known on Monday in Abuja, while reacting to the judgment.
The commission had charged Oronsaye and others with N2 billion money laundering.
Dismissing the charge, Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, held that the commission failed to establish the charges against the defendants.
The commission, however, said that the trial judge erred by overlooking the evidence of the 21 witnesses called by the prosecution in the course of the trial, as well as the confessional statement of one of the defendants, Osarenkhoe Afe.
“It has, therefore, decided to challenge the judgment at the Court of Appeal,” Uwujaren said.
The Tide reports that Oronsaye’s corruption trial commenced in 2015 when he was docked alongside Osarenkhoe Afe, the Managing Director, Fredrick Hamilton Global Services Limited and three companies.
The companies included Cluster Logistic Limited; Kangolo Dynamic Cleaning Limited and Drew Investment & Construction Company Limited.
The first and second defendants were accused of using the companies as vehicles to siphon public funds to the tune of N2 billion through contract fraud between 2010 and 2011.
They were prosecuted on an amended 27 counts charge.

The Police Command in Gombe State says it has arrested four suspects in possession of human bones.
ASP Mahid Abubakar, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the command disclosed this on Monday in Gombe while briefing journalists.
Abubakar said the suspects were arrested following complaints from some residents of Taraba who they allegedly scammed.
“One Isa Musa of Bali LGA of Taraba State came to Gombe State to meet one Alhaji Auwal of Gombe who is now at large, through one of their friends that the said Alhaji will pray for them to see more success in their businesses.
“The said Auwal collected the sum of N650,000 from the complainants. After sometime, the complainants having seen no improvement in their businesses demanded for their money back,” he said.
He said that upon demand for their money, Auwal referred them to one 65-year-old Ibrahim Adamu of Dukku LGA in Gombe State and since then Auwal had been on the run.
The spokesperson said during investigation one Ibrahim Adamu of Bagadaza Quarters, Gombe, was also arrested at Auwal’s house with some traditional charms, sands from grave, one white cloth which they use for their devilish work.
He stated that efforts were being intensified to arrest the main suspect, Auwal who is now at large while investigation is still ongoing.
He said items recovered from the four suspects now in police net included some human bones, sand from grave, and other items for traditional charms and a piece of white clothes.
According to him, the suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
Abubakar said two other suspects were also arrested for shop breaking and motorcycle theft, noting that the suspects had confessed to the crimes and would soon be charged to court.
Yusuf Alado, one of the victims from Taraba said he and his friend were told about Auwal in Gombe who was said to be praying for people to succeed in their businesses.
“So we travelled to meet the Auwal who collected the sum of N650,000 from us to pray and make the money produce more money,” he said.
Alado said they had not seen Auwal or any positive effect of what they paid for which was why they reported to the police.
He told Nigerians to be careful with any of such fake prophets, adding that he had learnt his lesson the hard way.
