In a statement by EFCC’s Head, Media and Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, he said that the fresh 50 counts of corruption were filed on Friday.

It would be recalled that one of Sylva’s fraud cases before Justice Ahmed Mohammed was dismissed two days ago.

Justice Mohammed had held that the case constituted was an abuse of court process.

Also, two weeks ago, EFCC withdrew the other case before  Justice Evoh Chukwu (also of the Federal High Court, Abuja.
