The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Wednesday, May 3, 2017, arraigned one Eucharia Ekezie before Justice Olasumbo Olajumoke Goodluck of the Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja, on a ten-count charge of conspiracy and obtaining by false pretence.

Ekezie, in connivance with one Hamid Bakoji (now at large), allegedly defrauded over seventy job applicants to the tune of N3.920million under the pretext that the money would be used to facilitate employments for them in various federal government establishments including Central Bank of Nigeria, Nigeria Communication Commission, Federal Inland Revenue Service and National Assembly.
The offence contravenes Section 8 (a) and 1 (1) (a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act, 2006....
 

In view of her plea, counsel to EFCC, Chris Omisaga urged the court to fix a date for trial .

However, Ekezie’s counsel, C. S. Nwaogu told the court that he had a pending application for bail of his client and prayed the court to admit the defendant to bail.

Justice Olasumbo Goodluck granted the accused bail in the sum of N2million with two sureties in like sum. The sureties must be civil servants not below Grade Level 14. The defendant must also submit her international passport to the court Registrar.

The Judge, thereafter, adjourned to June 13-14, 2017 for hearing.
