Seriki Adinoyi in Jos

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
monday arraigned the Provost of Federal School of Medical
Laboratory Technology, Dr. Nkereuwem Etukudo and four
others before a High Court in Jos for embezzlement and
diversion of public funds.

Etukudo was arraigned with two other members of staffs of
the institution and two contractors. The staffs are the
Accountant/Bursar of the institution, Mr. Yusuf Samuel and
the Data Analyst of the school, Mr. Ernest Demto. The
contractors are Messrs Esio Udoh and Goodluck Echenwa.
The arraignment was before Justice Y.D. Dakwak of Court 2
in suit Number PLDJ/36c/2015.


However, the charges were not formally read to the accused
in court because the Prosecution Counsel, Mr. Steve Odiase,
curiously told the court that even though the case was for
arraignment, one of the accused persons, Demto, was down
with kidney disease and currently receiving treatment at the
National Hospital, Abuja.

He said that since they were to be jointly arraigned, it was
improper to arraign the remaining without Demto.
Odiase therefore pleaded for a long adjournment to enable
the parties pray for the quick recovery of the accused,
adding that if by the next adjourned date, he was still unfit
to stand trial, then he would amend the charges to enable
the case to go on.

Dakwak granted the plea of the prosecution counsel and
adjourned the case to May 2.
