The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) took Christopher Nduka to court in Kano.Â
He was brought before Justice Farook Lawal Adamu at the Federal High Court. The charges against him were about lying to get money and giving fake checks.
The first charge said Christopher Nduka took N2,850,000 from someone named Tochukwu Obinna Chioke in September 2022 in Kano. He promised to buy medicine but didn’t. This is against the law and is called fraud.
The second charge said Christopher Nduka gave a check for N1,800,000 to the same person, Tochukwu Obinna Chioke, but it bounced because there wasn’t enough money in his bank account. This is also against the law.
Christopher Nduka said he didn’t do these things when the charges were read to him.
The person representing the government in court, Idris I. Haruna, asked for a date to start the trial because Christopher Nduka said he was not guilty.
The lawyer for Christopher Nduka, P.A Edamaku, asked the court to let his client go free until the trial starts.
Justice Lawal said Christopher Nduka could go free until the trial starts if he paid N1,000,000 and had someone who owned land in the same area as him to vouch for him.
The trial will start on March 27, 2024.
Christopher Nduka has a history of getting into trouble for offences like this.
This time, he got into even more trouble when someone accused him of taking N2,850,000 but not giving them the medicine they paid for.
Additionally, he wrote two checks that bounced because he didn’t have enough money in his bank account.
