The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will tomorrow May 5th arraign a retired Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Sambo, before a Federal Capital Territory High Court in Maitama, Abuja on a one-count charge bordering on criminal breach of trust and obtaining N10m by false pretence.
A statement from the anti-graft agency which was signed by the Head of Media and Publicity of EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, states that the suspect allegedly conspired with one Nuhu Bello Dabai to extort the managing director of a firm of N10million. The statement in part reads
“Sambo, who connived with one Nuhu Bello Dabai, had allegedly duped the complainant, Managing Director/ CEO, Ideal Sunbeam International Company Limited, Abdul Malik Bello, of the sum of N10, 000, 000.00, after claiming that he needed to defray both the survey and other preliminary expenses involved in the execution of a contract worth over N1 billion purportedly awarded 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.”
