THE Kaduna Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday 9 May 2023 arraigned Nur’deen Olaitan Amodu-Ode before Justice Darius Khobo of a Kaduna State High Court on charges bordering on criminal breach of trust.
The defendant allegedly diverted a credit facility granted to him by his bank for the purchase of shares, and which was to be repaid within 180 days, to personal use.
The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to him, prompting the prosecution counsel, Moses Arumemi to ask for a date for the trial to commence. But the defence counsel, A. Adama moved the application for the bail of the defendant.
Justice Khobo granted the defendant bail in the sum of Five Million Naira (N5, 000,000.00) and one surety in like sum who must be a resident of Kaduna and must deposit his international passport with the registrar of the court.
The case was adjourned to 4 July 2023 for trial.
