 EFCC Arraigns One for N4.3m Fraud in Maiduguri


The Maiduguri Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Thursday, April 9, 2026 arraigned one Abdullahi Aminu before Justice Aisha Kumaliya of the Borno State High Court sitting in Maiduguri.


The defendant was arraigned on a one- count charge bordering on criminal misappropriation to the tune of N4, 305,000.00 (Four Million, Three Hundred and Five Thousand Naira).


The charge reads: "That you, Abdullahi Aminu sometimes in 2025 at Maiduguri, Borno State, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court dishonestly convert to your own use the aggregate sum of N4,305,000.00 (Four Million, Three Hundred and Five Thousand Naira), monies belonging to Jibrin Abdulrahman purportedly as payment for the supply of rice,  thereby committed an offence contrary to Section  296 and punishable under Section 297 of the Borno State Penal Code Law and Other Matters Connected Therewith Law, 2023."


The defendant pleaded “not guilty” to the charge preferred against him by the EFCC. Following his plea, prosecution counsel A.D Abdulmalik prayed for a trial date and urged the court to remand the defendant in a Correctional facility.


Thereafter, Justice Kumaliya adjourned till April 21, 2026 for commencement of trial and remanded the defendant in Maiduguri Maximum Correctional facility.


He was arrested when he allegedly  dishonestly converted to his own use the sum of  N4, 305,000.00 (Four Million, Three Hundred and Five Thousand Naira) that was meant for the supply of rice.
