The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, will on Thursday, May
12, 2016 arraign a retired Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Sambo,
before a Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja
on one-count charge bordering on criminal breach of trust and obtaining
money by false pretence to the tune of N10,000,000.00m( Ten Million
Naira).
Sambo,
who connived with one Nuhu Bello Dabai, had allegedly duped the
complainant, Abdul Malik Bello, Managing Director/ CEO, Ideal Sunbeam
International Company Limited, the sum of N10, 000, 000.00m, after
claiming that he needed to defray both the survey and other preliminary
expenses involved in the execution of a contract worth over N1bn (One
Billion Naira) purportedly awarded him by Zamfara State Governor, Abdul
Aziz Abubakar Yari.
The accused person was subsequently arrested and granted an administrative bail by the Commission on January 19, 2015.
He, however, jumped the administrative bail granted him on April 7, 2015.
After playing hide-and-seek, he was eventually re-arrested on Wednesday, May 3, 2016.
