Two Nigerians in Hot Water for Alleged False Claims to EFCC
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned two Nigerians, Shehu Abdu and Isah Saidu, before a Kaduna State High Court for allegedly providing false information to secure bail for a Chinese national involved in illegal mining.
According to the EFCC, the duo falsely claimed to be close acquaintances of the Chinese national, Zhou, and agreed to stand as his sureties. This alleged deception has landed them in trouble with the law.
The EFCC has charged Abdu and Saidu with providing false information to the Commission. The case highlights the EFCC’s commitment to cracking down on illicit activities, including illegal mining.
The two accused individuals have been remanded in Kaduna prison pending further proceedings. The case will likely shed more light on the circumstances surrounding their alleged actions.
This case serves as a reminder of the importance of integrity and honesty when dealing with law enforcement agencies. Providing false information can have serious consequences, as Abdu and Saidu are now experiencing.
