The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has charged Ibrahim Nuhu Shuaibu with defrauding victims of N100 million, according to Nairametrics.
Shuaibu, who allegedly impersonated a Group Executive Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), appeared before Justice Darius Khobo of the Kaduna State High Court.
The EFCC has accused Shuaibu of seven offenses, including criminal breach of trust, impersonation, and obtaining money under false pretenses.
The charges stem from incidents dating back to 2017, when Shuaibu, using the alias Ishaku Abdulrazak, allegedly defrauded victims by promising petroleum product supplies.
One notable case involves Faisal Safiyanu, who transferred over N47 million to Shuaibu’s account under the pretense of receiving petroleum products.
Shuaibu did not deliver the products or refund the money, leading to his prosecution.
The charges include a count of conspiring to obtain money under false pretenses, an offense punishable under the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006.
