The charge further explained that Umar allegedly told the victim the money was for the purchase of a property located at Bolori Ward, Maiduguri, a claim he knew to be false, and that his actions constituted “an offence contrary to Section 1, punishable under Section 1(3) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006.”
The defendant pleaded not guilty when the charges were read to him.
Following the plea, EFCC prosecuting counsel, S.O. Saka, prayed the court “for a trial date and remand of the defendant in a Correctional Centre.”
Justice Ibrahim subsequently remanded Umar in a Correctional Facility and adjourned the case to November 3, 2025, for the commencement of trial.
Earlier reported EFCC had handed over three properties, two luxury vehicles, and ₦1.1 million recovered from a self-acclaimed spiritualist and fraudster, Fatai Olalere All and arraigned a vessel, MT Ostria, and three individuals in Lagos, over alleged petroleum theft involving over 25 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit belonging to NNPC Retail Limited.
