The charges brought against the former HOS and two other accomplices border on stealing and obtaining by false pretence, otherwise known as 419, people familiar with the matter told PREMIUM TIMES.
We understand that Mr. Oronsaye and his two accomplices would be arraigned in court on Monday.
Mr. Oronsaye was arrested by the anti-graft agency on Wednesday on allegations of corruption.

The commission had granted him administrative bail and ordered him to report for further interrogation Friday.
After hours of rigorous questioning by top officials of the commission, the 24-count charges were drawn up against him.
PREMIUM TIMES had in December 15, 2013 exclusively reported how Mr. Oronsaye and other top directors of the Nigerian civil service colluded to allegedly defraud the nation of N6.2 billion pension fund.
