Former Gombe state governor, Sen. Danjuma Goje will soon be arrested over a N25bn fraud accusation.
A federal high court in Jos on Tuesday issued a warrant for his arrest after he failed to show up in court to answer to the accusations.
In a facebook post, the EFCC said "the warrant is however to take effect by 8am tomorrow, October 5, 2016, if he fails to show up in court again."
Goje, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriation, is accused of illegally awarding a N1bn contract for the supply of dictionaries to secondary schools while he was governor of the state.
He was also alleged to have paid 85 per cent of the contract sum upfront to the supplier, Real and Integrated Hospitality Company, as against the prescribed 15 per cent as contained in the UBEB guidelines when he was the governor.
