Fraud: Top Prison Boss Sentenced To 7-year Jail Term by abila122: 7:54pm On Nov 29, 2014
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has secured the conviction of a top prison officer as Justice J.J Majebi of the Kogi State High Court, Okene, convicted and sentenced Joseph Friday Idachaba, deputy controller of Prisons, to seven years imprisonment for offences bordering on obtaining money under false pretences.

Arraigned in 2012 on a three-count charge, the accused was found guilty on count three of the charge by the trial judge, who, however, acquitted him on the two remaining counts.
Count three of the charge reads: “That you Joseph Friday Idachaba (m) being a deputy comptroller of Nigeria Prisons Service, and Onoja D. Ruth (IP) also a staff of Nigeria Prison Service, sometime between July, 2012 to February 2013 at Lokoja, Kogi State did with intent to defraud obtained N1,403,114.09 only from the federal government of Nigeria via the Nigeria Prison Service, with pretence that same amount was the payment of monthly salaries from Nigeria Prison Service, which amount was credited into the UBA Plc account No 2054047736 belonging to one Opia Mohammed Ugbade (now at large), through NIGSS electronic fund transfer (NEFT) between July 2012-to February 2013, that the said Opia Mohammed Ugbade’s name found in the Nigeria Prison Service electronic payroll is not a staff of the service, which pretence you knew to be false and hereby committed an offence contrary to section 1(1) paragraphs A&B.”
