EFCC Arraigns Fake NNPC Director Over N100m Fraud

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) Kaduna Zonal Directorate has arraigned one Ibrahim Nuhu Shuaibu before Justice Darius Khobo of the Kaduna State High Court, sitting in Kaduna State for fraud.

According to a statement posted on Monday, 09 September 2024 on EFCC X.com handle their official website , Shuaibu is being prosecuted on a seven-count charge bordering on criminal breach of trust, impersonation, and obtaining by false pretence to the tune of N100 million.

Count one of his charges reads: “That you, Nuhu Ibrahim Shuaibu (a.k.a Ishaku Abdulrazak) (M) and lIya Garba (now deceased) sometime in 2017 in Kaduna within the judicial division of this honorable court did conspire between yourselves to do an illegal act, to wit: obtaining money under false pretence and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 8(a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Act."

Another reads: “That you, Nuhu Ibrahim Shuaibu (a.k.a Ishaku Abdulrazak)(M) sometime in 2018 at Kaduna within the judicial division of this honorable court, with intent to defraud, obtained the total sum of N47,050,000.00(Forty-Seven Million and Fifty Thousand Naira) from one Faisal Safiyanu, when you claimed to supply him petroleum products, which pretence you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1(1)(a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offenses Act 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Act.”

When the charges were read to him, he pleaded “not guilty”, prompting the prosecution counsel, M. Lawal, to urge the court to fix a trial date. His counsel, AbdulKareem Audu, failed to file a bail application. Justice Khobo afterward ordered the defendant to be remanded in the custody of the EFCC.

Shuaibu's journey to prosecution began in 2017 when he introduced himself to his victim as NNPCL's Group Executive Director and promised to help him procure over 2000 litres of petroleum products, for which the victim transferred the agreed-upon cost to his bank accounts in tranches. Shuaibu failed to fulfill the end of the contract after accepting payment and failed to refund his victim's money.
