During the trial, ICPC’s prosecutor, Hamza Sani presented evidence of Mba’s dishonest activities, including forging a letterhead and signature of the late Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari.

The forged letter requested the recruitment of three individuals by ICPC, but Kyari’s written correspondence distanced himself and his office from authorizing the letter.

Justice Ibrahim Muhammad convicted Mba on counts 1, 2, 3, and 5, related to cheating and forgery, while discharging her on count 4, which dealt with felony.
