The duo of Jude Ameh and Ademola Aderibigbe were yesterday arraigned by the EFCC Kano Zonal office before Justice Farouk Lawan of the Kano State High Court on a 19-count charge bordering on theft and forgery.

The complainant had alleged that one of the defendants, Ademola Aderibigbe, an employee in his Bureau de Change, connived with Jude Ameh, the account officer of his company at FCMB, to defraud him of N11,360,000 (Eleven Million Three Hundred and Sixty thousand Naira only).


After counts were read, the defendants pleaded not guilty to all the charges against them. In view of their plea, prosecuting counsel, Salihu Sani asked the court for a date for hearing. Counsel to the defendants, U.U Eteng prayed the court to hear their bail application.


Justice Lawan granted the defendants bail in the sum of N500,000 each with reliable sureties that must have landed property within the jurisdiction of the court, which must have Certificate of Occupancy.


Thereafter, Judge adjourned hearing to February 11 and 12, 2020 while the defendants are to be remanded in EFCC custody pending the fulfilment of their bail conditions.
