Fake NNPC Director In EFCC Custody Over ₦‎100 Million Fraud (via Primetweets)
A recent announcement from the EFCC X.com handle reveals that Shuaibu is being prosecuted with seven charges, including criminal breach of trust, impersonation, and fraudulent acquisition totaling N100 million.

 

Ibrahim Shuaibu has been brought before Justice Darius Khobo at the Kaduna State High Court due to allegations of fraud.

 

His arrest was executed by the Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

 

The EFCC’s announcement details that Shuaibu faces multiple serious charges that involve criminal breaches of trust and impersonation, alongside a fraudulent sum of N100 million.

 

The first charge states, “That you, Nuhu Ibrahim Shuaibu (also known as Ishaku Abdulrazak) along with Ilya Garba (deceased), conspired in 2017 in Kaduna to engage in fraud by deceitfully acquiring money, an offense contrary to the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006.”

 

Another charge specifies,

 

Shuaibu pleaded “Not Guilty” when the charges were presented, prompting the prosecution to request a trial date. His lawyer, AbdulKareem Audu, did not submit a bail request.

 

Justice Khobo ordered Shuaibu to remain in EFCC custody.

 

The case against Shuaibu dates back to 2017 when he misrepresented himself as a high-ranking NNPC official, promising to facilitate the purchase of over 2,000 liters of petroleum for a victim.

 

The victim later transferred the agreed amount in several payments to Shuaibu’s accounts.

 

However, after receiving the payments, Shuaibu failed to deliver the petroleum products or return the funds.
