The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday, March 9, 2015, arraigned two persons in a Federal High Court for their involvement in a N58 Million fraud.
Justice B.M. Agishir of the Court sitting in Enugu State presided over the case pertaining to Adaobi Ofoma Chuke and Chief Jame Ofoma.
They were both arraigned on a four-count charge bordering on conspiracy and obtaining properties by false pretence to the tune of N58million.
One of the charges, according the Media and Publicity of the EFCC, read: "That you Adaobi A. Ofoma Chuke and Chief James Ofoma sometime in March, 2010 at Enugu within the jurisdiction of this honourable Court did conspire with each other to commit felony to wit: Obtaining Properties by False Pretence and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 8(a) of Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006 and Punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Act."
The accused persons, however, pleaded not guilty to all the charges preferred against them.
Following application for bail by the defence counsel, E.N. Onyibor, the first accused, Ofoma Chuke, was granted bail on self-recognition in the sum of N1million; the second accused person was granted bail in the sum of N500, 000 with one surety who must be a civil servant not below Grade Level 12 or a businessman.
The matter was adjourned to May 26, 2015 for trial.
