The charges read that they jointly conspired among themselves to “ breached the trust confided on you and intentionally deceived into paying the sum of  N 280,000 under the pretences of offering them with provisional appointment with the Niger state primary Health care development agency and Niger state Basic education board knowing fully well that it is a fraudulent transaction you dishonestly obtained the money and converted same to your own personal use and issued them with forged and fake appointment letters”
