The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge preferred against him.

In view of the plea, the prosecution counsel, Fatsuma Mohammed asked the court for a trial date and, to remand the defendant pending the determination of the case.

However, counsel to the defendant, Abdulwasiu Alfa pleaded with the court for a short date to file a bail application.

Justice Kumaliya adjourned the matter till February 3 and 9, 2021 for the commencement of trial.

In a related development, the EFCC Kano zonal office also arraigned one Andrew Oshome before Justice Shuaibu B. Shuaibu of the Kebbi State High Court sitting in Birnin Kebbi on one-count charge of misappropriation to the tune of N44,800,000.

The defendant was arrested by operatives of the commission following a petition by Farmers Association of Nigeria (FAN), Kebbi State chapter, alleging that sometimes in 2011, he diverted the sumĀ  N44,800,000 which they contributed to acquire tractors through Kebbi State Agricultural Development Authority (KARDA) and food security development of the federal ministry of agriculture.

Uwujaren also explained that investigation revealed that the defendant fixed the farmers’ money in a fixed deposit account and used the same to purchase a vessel.
