Kano man arraigned for alleged N34.8 million fraud
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arraigned one Abdulmajid Nazifi for allegedly misappropriating N34.8 million belonging to Fahad Balarabe Adaji in Kano State.
In a statement on Thursday, the commission said the suspect was arraigned on Wednesday before Justice Musa Karaye of the Kano State High Court.
According to the charge, the money was transferred on Mr Nazifi’s instructions into the First Bank account of Muazu Abdullahi to purchase IRS Spaghetti from BUA.
The commission alleged that Mr Nazifi converted the money for his personal use instead of using it for the intended transaction.
The alleged offence contravenes Section 308 of the Kano State Penal Code and is punishable under Section 309 of the same law.
Mr Nazifi pleaded not guilty when the charge was read to him.
Following his plea, prosecution counsel, Mustapha Maiwada, asked the court to fix a trial date and remand the defendant to a correctional facility.
Justice Musa Karaye ordered that Mr Nazifi be remanded in a correctional facility and adjourned the case until November 2, 2026, for hearing.
