EFCC to arraign Former Commissioner of Police

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, today will arraign a retired Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Sambo, before a Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja, on a one-count charge of criminal breach of trust and obtaining money by false pretence.

According to the EFCC, Sambo connived with one Nuhu Bello Daisi to allegedly dupe Abdul Malik Bello, Managing Director/ CEO, Ideal Sunbeam International Company Limited of N10 million.

Reports by Premium Times say Sambo claimed the N10 million was needed to defray both the survey and other preliminary expenses involved in the execution of a contract worth over N1billion purportedly awarded him by Zamfara State Governor, Abdul Aziz Abubakar Yari.

The EFCC said Sambo had been originally granted administrative bail on January 19, 2015, but he absconded since April 7, 2015.

After evading the EFCC he was eventually re-arrested on Wednesday, May 3, 2016.
