The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned two suspects over the alleged fraudulent collection of N603.4 million from a woman under the pretext of securing her appointment as the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited.
According to TheCable, the suspects — Gidado Ibrahim and Halimat Adenike Tejusho, who is currently at large — were arraigned on Monday before the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Maitama.
They face an amended six-count charge bordering on fraud and obtaining by false pretence.
The anti-graft agency alleged that the defendants obtained the money from Oluseye Yomi-Sholoye with the promise of facilitating her appointment to the top position at NNPC Limited.
Further details of the proceedings were not immediately available at the time of filing this report.
