Nigeria's anti-corruption agency has filed fresh charges against a state governor, according to a charge sheet published today.
The Financial and Economic Crimes Commission said Joshua Dariye embezzled 700 million naira (€5 million) in public funds between 2001 and 2003 in connivance with six top officials of Plateau State.
Mr Dariye, who is constitutionally immune from prosecution in Nigeria while in office, was not in court when the case was mentioned yesterday.
He fled a British investigation into money laundering in 2004.
