The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has brought charges against Ibrahim Nuhu Shuaibu, accusing him of a N100 million fra¥d scheme, Nairameteics reports.
Shuaibu, who is alleged to have impersonated a Group Executive Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), was arraigned before Justice Darius Khobo of the Kaduna State High Court.
The EFCC has charged Shuaibu on seven counts, which include criminal breach of trust, impersonation, and obtaining money under false pretenses-EFCC stated in a post on X.
The charges date back to incidents beginning in 2017, when Shuaibu, under the alias Ishaku Abdulrazak, allegedly conspired with a now-deceased accomplice, Iliya Garba, to defraud victims by promising to supply petroleum products. According to the EFCC, Shuaibu convinced one victim, Faisal Safiyanu, to transfer over N47 million to his account after falsely claiming he would supply petroleum products. Despite receiving the funds, Shuaibu failed to deliver the products, nor did he refund the money, leading to his prosecution by the EFCC.
One of the counts reads: “That you, Nuhu Ibrahim Shuaibu (a.k.a Ishaku Abdulrazak) and lIya Garba (now deceased), sometime in 2017 in Kaduna, within the judicial division of this honourable court, did conspire to obtain money under false pretenses, thereby committing an offence contrary to Section 8(a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006, and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Act.”
Another count specifies that Shuaibu, in 2018, fraudulently obtained N47,050,000 from Safiyanu under the pretense of supplying petroleum products.
The charge notes that Shuaibu knew his claims were false, yet proceeded to defraud the victim. This act is in violation of Section 1(1) (a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006, and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same legislation.
During his arraignment, Shuaibu pleaded not guilty to all seven charges. Following this, the prosecution, led by M. Lawal, requested the court to set a date for trial. However, Shuaibu’s defense counsel, AbdulKareem Audu, did not file a bail application, prompting the presiding judge, Justice Darius Khobo, to order the defendant’s remand in EFCC custody pending the trial.
The EFCC has been investigating Shuaibu’s activities since 2017 when he first presented himself as a senior NNPCL official. Posing as a Group Executive Director, Shuaibu reportedly convinced his victim that he could facilitate the procurement of over 2,000 litres of petroleum products. The victim, believing Shuaibu’s claims to be genuine, transferred funds to him in tranches.
However, after receiving the money, Shuaibu neither fulfilled his promise to supply the products nor returned the funds to the victim.

Australia’s Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, has announced a plan to ban children from using social media.
The Prime Minister, on Tuesday, said that the government would introduce legislation in 2024 to enforce a minimum age for access to social media and other relevant digital platforms.
“We know social media is causing social h3rm, and it is taking kids away from real friends and real experiences,” he said in a statement. He said that the legislation would be informed by engagement with the states and territories, but his preference is to set the minimum age at 16 years.
According to a poll conducted by state broadcaster the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in August, 61 per cent of Australians supported restricting social media access to those younger than 17. At the same time, Peter Malinauskas, the premier of South Australia, commissioned former federal judge Robert French to explore legal pathways to ban children younger than 14 from social media. The prime minister said that the federal government would consider Robert French’s review when drafting the legislation.

Tyrese Gibson has been taken into custody after he failed to pay the monthly $10,000 child support payments a judge ordered him to make to his ex Samantha Lee.
Gibson – who shares five-year-old daughter Soraya with Lee – was held in contempt of court Monday morning during a hearing over the matter.
Judge Kevin Farmer was upset over Gibson’s refusal to make the monthly $10,000 child support payments the actor was ordered to begin paying in April 2023. Farmer held Gibson in contempt of court Monday. And the ‘Fast & Furious’ actor was placed in handcuffs by the bailiff and taken out of the courtroom.
The judge offered Gibson the chance to resolve the issue and avoid jail time if he paid $73,000. That figure includes Samantha’s attorney fees, which total $7,500. Gibson had been making payments to Lee. However, it has not been the $10,000 figure the judge ordered him to begin making last year.
Tyrese Gibson has been paying his ex around $2,200 every month as of 2023. Insiders said Gibson is currently in the process of sorting out the $73K payment

Further, the ministry pointed out that the receipts presented by Mr. Otse were different from the authentic receipts issued by the church, a fact that has been confirmed through an ongoing police investigation. The press release criticized Punch Newspaper for not reaching out to the ministry for its side of the story, resulting in what it described as “bad journalism” and a “vindictive mission” against the church.
