The All Progressive Party candidate in the September 19, 2020
gubernatorial election in Edo state, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, will be
arraigned before the Federal High Court, Benin City today July 2 over an
alleged N700 million fraud case levelled against him by the EFCC.
Ize-Iyamu and four others are being arraigned in court on an eight-count
