 Gombe Court Jails Woman Three Years  for N3m Fraud

 

The Gombe Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, has secured the conviction and sentencing  of Rose Dogara Silas Gyar  to three years imprisonment.   

 

She was jailed by Justice Abdul Hamid of the Gombe State High Court sitting in Gombe after pleading guilty to one-count charge bordering on cheating to the

tune of N3,000,000 (Three Million Naira only), contrary to Section 322 of the Penal Code.

 

Her lone-count charge reads: “That you Rose Dogara Silas Gyar between 17th and 30th December 2021, at Gombe, Gombe State within the jurisdiction of this honourable court dishonestly induce Saifullahi Sani Abdullahi to entrust to you the sum of N3,000,000 which you received via your company Gloprenuers Enterprises, whose account is domiciled in Fidelity Bank PLC, with account number: 5600544823  by fraudulently representing to him that the sum has been paid as collateral for the agricultural loan facility approved for your company by the Central Bank of Nigeria ( CBN) under the Anchor Borrowers programme, a representation you knew to be false thereby committed an offence of cheating and punishable under Section 322 of the Penal Code.”

 

She pleaded "guilty" to the charge when it was read to her, upon which prosecution counsel, M.D Aliyu prayed the court to convict and sentence her accordingly, while the defence counsel, S.O Kumu  pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy, saying his client has shown remorse and has fully restituted the proceeds of crime to her victim.

 Justice Hamid convicted and sentenced her to three years imprisonment with an option of  fine of N20,000( Twenty Naira only).

 

Gyar bagged her imprisonment when a petitioner alleged that she and Mohammad Babayo Maina (at large) induced him to part with N3million paid into her Gioprenuers Enterprises bank account under the pretence of enrolling him in CBN’s Anchor Borrowers’ programme for farmers with a promise that he would receive funding and farm input from the apex bank. It dawned on the petitioner that he has been scammed when he got nothing from the bank and could not get a refund from Gyar and her accomplice.


In another development, EFCC operatives from the Gombe Zonal Command have arrested one Yusufu Tanimu for Automated Teller Machine,  ATM,  card fraud in the state capital.


Tanimu was  arrested following actionable intelligence on his  suspected involvement in  ATM card fraud in Ecobank  Plc. 


Items recovered from him at the point of his arrest include: 33 ATM cards, belonging  to different banks,  a Techno phone and an ATM card holder.


He would be charged to court as soon as investigation on his activities is concluded.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
