Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arraigned one Mustapha Idris before Justice Aisha Kumaliya of the Borno State High Court in Maiduguri over an alleged N1 million fraud.<\/p>\n

The Maiduguri Zonal Directorate of the EFCC brought Idris before the court on Tuesday, July 1, on a one-count amended charge of criminal misappropriation.<\/p>\n

According to the charge, the defendant, in 2023, allegedly dishonestly misappropriated the sum of N1,000,000 belonging to one Salisu Waziri under the pretext of investing in grain trading, a claim the EFCC said was false.<\/p>\n

The charge reads:<\/p>\n

\u201cThat you, Mustapha Idris, sometimes in 2023, in Maiduguri, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, dishonestly misappropriated the sum of N1,000,000.00 belonging to Salisu Waziri purportedly as money for grain investment, a claim which you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 296 of Borno State Penal Code Law and punishable under Section 297 of the same law.\u201d<\/p>\n

Idris pleaded not guilty to the charge.<\/p>\n

Following his plea, the prosecution counsel, Aliyu D. Abdulmalik, requested a trial date and that the defendant be remanded in a correctional facility.<\/p>\n

Justice Kumaliya granted the request and adjourned the matter to July 10, for commencement of trial. She also ordered that Idris be remanded at the Maiduguri Correctional Centre.<\/p>\n
