Woman faces trial for diverting client’s N4m

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned one Fatima Suleiman before Justice Jude O. Onwuegbuzie of the FCT High Court Apo, Abuja.

The 56-year-old was docked on one-count bordering on fraudulent conversion to the tune of N4 million.

The defendant as the Chairman/Chief Executive of Jamilma Multilinks Logistics Services Limited is alleged to have dishonestly converted the said sum which was entrusted to her by one Chigozie Ezeagu for the purpose of converting the same to United States Dollars.

Instead, she fraudulently converted the money to her own use and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 311 and punishable under Section 312 of the Penal Code Act CAP 53 LFN (Abuja).

She has pleaded “not guilty” to the charge preferred against her.

Justice Onwuegbuzie granted her bail in the sum of N8 million with two sureties in like sum. She was ordered to be remanded at Suleja Correctional Centre pending fulfilment of the bail terms.

Her trial continues September 28, 2022.
