The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC), on Thursday arraigned Alhaji Adamu
Abdullahi, former governorship aspirant of APC in Bauchi State
on charges of conspiracy and obtaining money by false pretense.
Also charged with Adamu was his company, Solid Unit Nig. Ltd,
before Justice Yakubu Dakawak of Plateau High Court 2 in Jos.
According to the prosecutor, Aliyu Bokani Usman,
Adamu collected N23,431 from one Olajide Olaleye, for
the supply of iron ore and zinc but disappeared thereafter.
He alleged that the action
contravened section 8 (a) and punishable under section 1 (3) of the Advance Fee
Fraud and other Related Offences Law of 2006.
Adamu, however, pleaded
not guilty to the charge and the asked prosecutor for a trial date and urge the
court to remand the accused in prison.
The defence counsel, Gyang
Zio, prayed the court to grant the accused bail on personal
recognition.
Justice Dakwaj adjourned the case to Friday, June 10, for ruling
on the bail application and ordered that Adamu be remanded in prison pending
the determination of the application for bail.
