A Point of Sale (POS) agent who also doubles as a Closed Circuit Television Technician,
Abdulfathi Aminu Ahmad was on Thursday, 4 May 2023, arraigned before Justice R.M Aikawa of a Federal High Court sitting in Kaduna, Kaduna State on one count charge of money laundering by the Kaduna Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Ahmad is alleged to have created fraudulent profiles of 72 N-power beneficiaries with bank accounts through which he had been collecting monthly stipends to the tune of N8, 900,000.00. 
The lid on the alleged scam was blown open when an N-power benefit enrollee from Zamfara State, raised the alarm that his profile had been hijacked by an unknown person and his stipends diverted.
Meanwhile, Ahmad pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to him in the open court.
The prosecution counsel, N. Salele consequently prayed the court for a date for trial to commence. But the defence counsel, Jamilu Ahmad Shafa, urged the court to admit his client to bail.
Justice Aikawa, after listening to both counsel, granted the defendant bail in the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Naira (N500,000. 00) and one surety in like sum. The surety must not be an officer below Grade Level 8 in the civil service, the court ruled.
The case was adjourned till 22 June 2023 for commencement of trial.
