One Ibrahim Akut Baba, a care taker chairman of Kaura Local Government Area in Kaduna State, has been arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, at the State High Court, on a one count charge bordering on obtaining money by false pretence.

In a statement signed by Wilson Uwujaren, Head, Media & Publicity in Abuja, the petitioner, Alhaji Auwal Ibrahim of Rahusa Investment Limited, Sabon Hunkuyi, Kaduna State alleged that, sometime in 2011, the accused informed him that, he had secured for him a contract for the supply of gas at N200, 000.00 (two hundred thousand naira) per truck and that, he should advance him a total sum of N1, 000,000.00 (one million naira) for five trucks.

The victim stated that the said money was paid into the accused account which was domiciled in one of the new generation banks.

The statement contained that the deal turned sour when the accused failed to deliver on the initial agreement.

When the charge was read to Mr. Akut, he pleaded not guilty.

Counsel to EFCC, Mr. Musa Isah urged the court to fix a date for hearing adding that, he was ready with all the witnesses and evidences to prove the case against the accused.

Justice Tukur Muazu adjourned the case to February 4, 2016 for trial and ordered that the accused be remanded in prison custody.

However small, this will still serve as a relief to many Nigerians who have complained about the alleged selective manner in which the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has carried out its anti-corruption battle thus far.

It should be recalled that former Kaduna State Military Administrator, Jafar Isa was arrested by the EFCC, in connection with the infamous arms deal scandal involving the former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki.

True.

Wailers will still come here and say 'this person is inconsequential that is why they are probing him' or 'eye service'.

Gooood

Mtcheeech i thought it was a high ranking APC member but just a mere house dude that stole 1M.

When PDP comes back into power(which is nearly impossible). By then they will have sense on how to probe thieves.

Bunch of Thieves

Fowl nyash don the open, before it was PDP now its APC, Team bring out our money is still in progress, Sai baba is working.

Hit the like button for our able president.

Good

You should be asking Goodluck Jonathan that question. Tinubu has been out of office for 8 years so if you want Buhari to do it, wait let him finish with the last administration.

Transperency

People are saying when will they arrest ameachi? I don't think the efcc can arrest that thief. Ameachi is the dasuki of apc, and that is why they are covering his ugly ass on this corruption fight. If ameachi is arrested, so many apc chieftains will go down.

They're only using their no-name apc members to deceive the zombies and gullible Nigerians that they're transparent in the stupid corruption fight.

sai baba, kowa ma sai ya gudu

APC chieftain? What will the wailers say now?

In all fairness,this is crap!
Classic misdirection technique 101.
This guy is been used as a dispensable.Maybe he has issues with El Rufai.
If the anti corruption war is fair,just and holistic then they should EFCC should go after those that we all know are corruption personified.

Note- I'm nonpartisan!

Nice one... But wailers will still wail, dn't really know what they want..

Oboy, your impotent presidiot will only be taken serious when efcc arraign ameachi, femi Adesina and others. Who be Ibrahim akut baba? He don baff? Mtchewww

Nice one. This anti-corruption message has to be strong and emphatic. We must learn to do right in this country, even if by force

Another northerner and another apc

Buhari is anti northerner .. We give him ultimatum or else...

EternalTruths:

Yea, by our time table, it will take 72 more years to investigate, probe, arrest and prosecute all corrupt PDP members. After then we will look into others.

When tinubu,ameachi,obj, atiku, oshiomole, okorocha and ngige are probed.

Except of course you think they are saints..

Apc chieftain my foot, the Apc are too desperately to make it look like their party members are also being convicted. Who the hell is Ibrahim Akut Baba? We re talking of the billions APc spent on the election and not 1 million naira defrauded since 2011.

Tomorrow
