EFCC arraigns ABU ex-VC, Bursar for N1bn fraud

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday, January12, 2023 arraigned former Vice Chancellor of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Prof. Ibrahim Garba, and the Bursar, Ibrahim Shehu Usman.

The ex-VC and Bursar were arraigned before Justice A.A Bello of the Kaduna State High Court on an eight-count charge bordering on theft and money laundering to the tune of over N1billion.

The anti-graft agency stated that the arraignment followed months of discreet investigation triggered by a petition accusing the duo of diverting monies meant for the renovation of the popular Kongo Conference Hotel, Zaria.

“The investigation established that over N1 billion was allegedly stolen from different accounts of the institution by the defendants and diverted into their private accounts,” EFCC stated.
