EFCC Docks Suspected Fraudster For N3.92m Job Scam


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.

Read Banky W's Reaction To Wizkid - Davido's Feud

Below is what Banky W. has to say concerning the feud that doesn't look like is ending any time soon between the star boy, Wizkid and the OBO himself, Davido. "What's better than one billionaire? Two" What's better than one of our Artists conquering the world? Two? Three? 10?? All?? Wish we would all just quit the mud slinging and get back to pushing the movement forward. When you're running a race, if you stop to throw stones at every dog that barks, you'll never reach your destination OR you'll get there much later than you should. And... A mud fight may seem like fun, but in the end, everyone just comes out looking like shit. Food for thought. #TheBankStatements Nobody wins when the #FamilyFeuds

Read What Gumsu Sani Abacha Has To Say Concerning The Tahneek And Treatment In Islam

Image
Over 1436 years ago, when a child was born, Prophet MUHAMMAD ﷺ made it his practice to take a small part of a date and place it in his mouth. *He would then chew it until it was soft and then rub it onto the palate of the new born baby*. *This is called Tahneek in Islam*. Today, BBC News has reported that "experts" have said - "A dose of sugar given as a gel rubbed into the inside of the cheek is a cheap and effective way to protect premature babies against brain damage" This is why Muslims follow the practice of the prophet without questioning it. Science is only now discovering a tradition that was introduced 1436 years ago because Islam was and still in the forefront of development. Let this be known to all, especially Muslims that Islam is not a primitive religion.  SubhanAllah..... All prised to Allah *********************** " If The Headache is in Front Of The Head, It's Treatment Is Sleeping. If It's On Top Of The Head, It...
