EFCC Docks Two Fake Car Dealers for N6.1m Fraud
The accused persons allegedly induced one Alhaji Mohammed Sani Utai
to part with the sum of N6.1 million under the pretext that they were
going to sell a Mercedes Benz GLK car to him. After obtaining the money
in various tranches, the car was neither delivered nor was his money
returned.
One of the charge reads, “that you Alhaji Abdu Ahmadu and Bello Isa
sometime in 2012, at Kano within the jurisdiction of the High Court of
Kano State with intent to defraud obtained the sum of N2.6 million from
Mohammed Sani Utai by falsely representing that you had a Mercedes Benz
GLK for sale and that you were capable of securing delivery of the said
Mercedes Benz car to him, which pretence you knew to be false and you
thereby committed an offence contrary to section 1(1)(a) of the Advance
Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006 and punishable
under section 1(3) of the same Act”.
The accused persons pleaded not guilty when the charge was read to them.
Justice Lawal adjourned the case to October 13, 2014 for hearing of bail application and commencement of trial.
