Meanwhile, sequel to inability of the commission to serve a copy of the charge on the accused person to pave way for his arraignment, it  secured the nod of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court on Monday to paste the 6-count charge at the front gate of his Abuja residence located within the Maitama District.
