The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, will on Thursday, 12 May arraign a retired Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Sambo, before a Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja on one-count charge of criminal breach of trust and obtaining money by false pretence to the tune of N10m.
Sambo, allegedly connived with one Nuhu Bello Dabai, to dupe the complainant, Abdul Malik Bello, Managing Director/ CEO, Ideal Sunbeam International Company Limited after claiming that he needed to defray both the survey and other preliminary expenses involved in the execution of a contract worth over N1bn.
He claimed the contract was awarded to him by Zamfara State Governor, Abdul Aziz Abubakar Yari.
The accused person 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.
