The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday arraigned Ali Mohammed before Justice Mohammed Maina of the Borno State High Court, Maiduguri, over an alleged ₦9 million fraud.
According to the EFCC’s Maiduguri Zonal Directorate, Mohammed collected the money from one Nuhu Alfa in September 2022 under the pretext of investing in the purchase and supply of petroleum products.
The funds were allegedly paid into a First Bank account operated under the name Ali Bako.
He is facing a two-count charge of obtaining money by false pretence and criminal misappropriation.
One of the charges alleged that Mohammed, “with intent to defraud, obtained the sum of ₦9,000,000.00… under the false pretence that it was meant for petroleum business investment, a representation he knew to be false.”
The defendant pleaded not guilty. Prosecution counsel, S.O. Saka, applied for a trial date and requested his remand. Justice Maina granted the request, ordered Mohammed’s remand at the Maiduguri Correctional Centre, and adjourned the case to September 24 for trial.
