The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arraigned one Dr. Nkereuwem Akpan Etok before Justice A. A. Okeke of the Federal High Court sitting in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on a 5-count charge bordering on abuse of office and money laundering.
.
.
The accused who doubles as the Director and Project Manager of Akwa Ibom State Agency for Control of AIDS, was arrested on Thursday, May 23, 2019, following series of reports of how he embezzled N30m (Thirty Million Naira), released to his agency in 2018, by the office of the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Akwa Ibom State, for outreach, sensitization, HIV testing/counselling and purchase of screening and confirmatory test tie breaker.
.
.
Investigations into the matter revealed that the accused used less than N6, 000, 000 for the purpose for which the N30, 000, 000 was released and diverted the rest of the funds for personal purposes.
.
.
One of the counts against the accused reads, "That you Dr. Nkereuwem Akpan Etok between 26th and 28th November, 2018 at Uyo within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, while being Director and Project Supervisor of Akwa Ibom State Agency for the Control of AIDS did convert a total sum of N24,700,200.00 (Twenty-four million, seven hundred thousand, two hundred naira only) knowing that the said fund is a proceed of your unlawful act and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 15 (2) (a) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011 (as amended)".
.
.
He pleaded not guilty to the 5 counts.
.
.
In view of his plea, the prosecuting counsel, Adebayo Soares, prayed the court to remand the accused in prison and fix a date for trial.
.
.
The court then adjourned to October 16 and 17, 2019, and also ordered that the accused be remanded in prison custody.
.
.
Similarly, Justice Okeke remanded two others, Ekerette Emmanuel and Christopher Uko Ebong, for dealing in petroleum products without licence.

The money that has been stolen from Nigeria between 1999 and 2019 is enough to turn Nigeria into Canada and America combined with N1m change for everyone.

Who did we offend

Haba.. no fear of God again.

I have no regards for EFCC anymore, they are simply a tool used by Buhari for his own selfish purpose.

I would have advice EFCC to inject him with the virus and let him go..

But, I think he looks like HIV patient though.

Coma is a b!tch.

He's already looking like someone who has HIV/AIDS

Sometimes, karma is faster than you expected.

The average nigerian man is corruption personified. Money meant to save lives, you dey embezzle am. All the donor agencies don leave Naija finish

Can we just be chopping off these people head like Saudi ?

As a judge, this is my verdict.

I hereby sentence him to be injected with HIV/Aids virus. Retrieve 80% of the money. And let him go.

just infect him with hiv

we should apply for recolonisation

Can you imagine..d

Yet when it is time to.prosecute those responsible, you Nigerians would start your robust defence of the thieves.



Let's start with the person in the mirror if we want some change.

Akpan... Our Southern brothers are not left behind.

Money to fight Boko-Haram, una go loot am. The one to fight diseases of good health, una go still chop am. No single human conscience at all

Nigerians are specialists in crime

Death sentence for corruption and embezzlement...

Serious countries are doing it...
