The petitioner further alleged that, after several
negotiations, he paid N1.8m (one million, eight
hundred thousand naira) as initial deposit, into
the account of Ali Gambo Abdulllahi, in one of
the new generation banks.



The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
EFCC, on Monday, July 6, 2015 arraigned Ali Gambo
Abdullahi, a staff of Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT,
Abuja, before Justice C. N Orji of the FCT High Court
sitting in Apo on a 2-count charge bordering on
conspiracy, bribery and abuse of office.
Abdullahi’s arrest and subsequent arraignment
followed a petition from one Rasheed O. Taiwo, who
claimed that he paid a bribe of N1.8million to Mr.
Danladi Umar, chairman, Code of Conduct Tribunal,
Abuja through the accused.

Taiwo alleged that, Umar who claimed to be presiding
over a case in which he was involved, demanded
a N10m (ten million naira) bribe as “settlement”, to
give him a clean bill of health.
The petitioner further alleged that, after several
negotiations, he paid N1.8m (one million, eight hundred
thousand naira) as initial deposit, into the account of
Ali Gambo Abdulllahi, in one of the new generation
banks.

Count one reads:
“That you, Ali Gambo Abdullahi, sometime in August,
2013 at Abuja, within the judicial division of this
Honourable Court did make a statement to one
ABULMAJID IBRAHIM (A detective with the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission) while in the course
of the exercise of the duty of his office that the sum
of One Million, Eight Hundred Thousand Naira (1,
800,000.00) paid into your Zenith account number
1002849471 on 12th December, 2012 by one Rasheed
Owolabi was a payment made to assist you settle your
father’s medical bill which statement you knew to be
untrue and thereby committed an offence contrary to
Section 39 (2) (A) of the Economic and Financial
Crimes act, 2004 and punishable under Section 39 (2)
(B) of the same Act”.

The accused pleaded not guilty to the charge when it
was read to him.
Following his plea, counsel to EFCC, Andrew Akoja,
asked the court for a trial date to present his
witnesses.

However, the defence counsel, A. F Attah, urged the
court to admit his client to bail saying, the accused
person is a senior officer in the civil service adding
that, as a responsible officer, he would not do anything
to frustrate his trial.
Justice Orji admitted the accused person to bail in the
sum of N5m (five million naira) and two sureties in like
sum. One of the sureties must be a GL 16 officer in
the civil service and the other must have landed
property in Abuja.

The case has been adjourned to October 21 and 22,
2015 for commencement of trial.
