The charges were filed at a high court in the federal capital territory (FCT).
Charged alongside Lawal were Hamidu David Lawal; Sulaiman Abubakar; Apeh Monday; Rholavision Engineering Limited and Josmon Technologies Limited.
The development comes one week after Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo said President Muhammadu Buhari had prevailed on anti-corruption agencies to prepare criminal charges against Lawal, who was accused of misappropriating money meant for the displaced victims of insurgency.
Buhari had sacked Lawal on October 31, 2017, following his indictment by a senate committee which investigated how millions of emergency funds were unaccounted for.
The president also sacked Ayodele Oke, former director-general of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), over huge sums of money was found in an apartment in Ikoyi, Lagos in April 2017.
