Nigeria anti-graft agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, will tomorrow (Thursday), arraign a retired Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Sambo, before a Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja on one-count charge bordering on criminal breach of trust and obtaining money by false pretence to the tune of N10,000,000.00m( Ten Million Naira).
Sambo, who according to EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren connived with one Nuhu Bello Dabai, had allegedly duped, Abdul Malik Bello,(complainant) and Managing Director/ CEO, Ideal Sunbeam International Company Limited, the sum of N10, 000, 000.00m, after claiming that he needed to defray both the survey and other preliminary expenses involved in the execution of a contract worth over N1bn (One Billion Naira) purportedly awarded him by Zamfara State Governor, Abdul Aziz Abubakar Yari.
The accused person, it was learnt was subsequently arrested and granted an administrative bail by the Commission on January 19, 2015.
He, however, jumped the administrative bail granted him on April 7, 2015.
After playing hide-and-seek, he was eventually re-arrested on Wednesday, May 3, 2016.
