Fraud

By Innocent Anaba
Lagos—The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, yesterday, told a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, that it will be calling two more witnesses in the trial of a former Managing Director of Nigerian Airspace Management Agency, NAMA, Ibrahim Abdusalami, and others over alleged N6.850billion fraud.

Others standing trial alongside Abdulsalami are Adegorite Olumuyiwa, Agbolade Segun, Adegorite’s wife, Joy, who is the Managing Director of Multeng Travels and Tours Limited; Clara Aliche, and two Limited Liability companies Randville investment limited, Multeng Travels and Tours Limited, allegedly used as conduit pipe to defraud the agency, Bola Akinribido and Sesebor Abiodun.

The EFCC, through its lawyer, Nnemeka Onmena, gave the hint, after the trial judge, Justice Babs Kuewumi, had discharged the agency’s second witness, Teslim Ajuwon, a Compliance Officer with Zenith Bank Plc.

The accused persons are facing a 24 count amended charge, bordering on conspiracy, fraud, forgery and unlawful conversion of funds.
