The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC Gombe zonal office
\nhas secured the conviction of one Usman Musa Zambuk before Justice
\nBiatrice Iliya of the Gombe State High Court on a one-count charge
\nbordering on criminal breach of trust.<\/p>\n
The convict was arraigned before the court following a petition by one
\nMuhammed Gombe alleging that they entered into a business agreement in
\nwhich the complainant invested the sum of N1,060,000.00 (One Million,
\nSixty Thousand Naira). The convict was to oversee the business by going
\nto Cotonou, Benin Republic to buy fairly used cars to sell in Jalingo
\nwith the aim of them both sharing the profit.<\/p>\n
Zambuk, however, diverted the money to his personal used, and so
\ncommitted an offence contrary to Section 311 and Punishable under
\nSection 312 of the Penal Code Law.<\/p>\n
When the charge was read to him, he pleaded “guilty” immediately.<\/p>\n
Counsel for the EFCC, G.I. Indeh, thus urged the court to convict and
\nsentence him accordingly.<\/p>\n
Justice Iliya, thereafter, pronounced him guilty and ordered him to pay
\na fine of N50,000. He was also ordered to refund the N1,060,000 to his
\nvictim as restitution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
