OPERATIVES of the Gombe Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested Ibrahim Abubakar, Managing Director of Shariff Agric and General Service in Jos, Plateau State, for stealing Fifty Seven Million, Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira (N57,550,000.00) only.
He was arrested on Friday, 6 October j2023 for allegedly converting the said sum erroneously paid into his company: Shariff Agric and General Services’ account, for his own use.
Baker Drilling Service allegedly transferred the said sum into the account of Shariff Agric and General Services, instead of Bluemoe Trade & Service. Both accounts are domiciled in the United Bank for Africa (UBA) respectively.
After the bank alerted Abubakar of the wrong posting into his company’s account, he allegedly transferred the sum of Five Million (N5,000,000.00) each to his personal accounts in UBA and Keystone banks respectively. Subsequent attempts made to withdraw the remaining amount led to his arrest.
A statement signed by the Commission’s spokesman, Dele Oyewale says he will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
