The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned two suspects over the alleged fraudulent collection of N603.4 million from a woman under the pretext of securing her appointment as the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited.
The suspects — Gidado Ibrahim and Halimat Adenike Tejusho, who is currently at large — were arraigned on Monday before the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Maitama.
They face an amended six-count charge bordering on fraud and obtaining by false pretence.
The anti-graft agency alleged that the defendants obtained the money from Oluseye Yomi-Sholoye with the promise of facilitating her appointment to the top position at NNPC Limited.
