The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned Ibrahim Shuaibu, a fake NNPC director, for fraud amounting to N100 million.

Shuaibu was arraigned before Justice Darius Khobo of the Kaduna State High Court on a 7-count charge, including criminal breach of trust, impersonation, and obtaining by false pretence.

According to the EFCC, Shuaibu falsely represented himself as the Group Executive Director of NNPC, offering to help his victim acquire over 2,000 litres of petroleum products. The victim transferred the agreed payment to Shuaibu’s bank accounts in instalments, but Shuaibu neither delivered the products nor refunded the victim’s money.

Shuaibu pleaded “not guilty” to all charges, and his counsel failed to file a bail application. Justice Khobo ordered the defendant to be remanded in EFCC custody.

The case began in 2017 when Shuaibu defrauded his victim, and the EFCC has been investigating since then. The prosecution counsel, M. Lawal, urged the court to fix a trial date.
