Particulars of count two reads:
“that you Eze Nwabueze C. (alias Ezeugo 1) ‘M’, Bridget Nwabueze (alias Juliet), Ngozi Izime Orji (alias Ben Azua) and others now at large between 18th day of November, 2011 and 25th day of July, 2012 at Port Harcourt within jurisdiction of this honourable court with intent to defraud did obtain the sum of Six Million, Six Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira (N6, 650,000.00) from one Architect Austine Ilenre Emuan as logistic, registration and processing fee for the purported award of construction of cottage Hospital and supply of Hospital Equipments for Obagi Community, Onelga Local Government Area of Rivers, which was paid to you through one Ecobank Bank Account Number 0721050184507601 belonging to ONYEIJE BENSON, the pretext you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1(1) (a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offence Act, 2006 and Punishable under Section 1 (3) of the same Act”.     
 
The accused persons pleaded not guilty to all the charge.
