A legal practitioner, Barrister Ezidi Fabulous and Mercy Atata( a.k.a Homa Odum) were on Monday, November 4, 2019 arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Port Harcourt Zonal Office, before Justice A.T. Mohammed of the Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on three- count charges bordering on conspiracy, forgery and utteration contrary to Section 3 (6) of the Miscellaneous Offences Act CAP M17 of the Revised Edition (Laws of the Federation of Nigeria) Act, 2007 and punishable under the same Section.

One of the charges read: “That you Mercy Atata (a.k.a Homa Odum), Barr. Ezidi Fabulous and one Barr. King Gabriel (now at large), Mr. Bob Manuel (now at large), on or about the 14th day of February, 2019, at the Federal High Court, Port Harcourt within the jurisdiction of the Honorable Court did conspire amongst yourselves to forge a document titled: DEED OF CONVEYANCE between one SIR.

The defendants pleaded not guilty to charges when read to them.

In view of their pleas, prosecuting counsel, C. Okorie, prayed the court for a date of commencement of trial.

Defence counsel, C.C. Uchegbu and A.D Odili for the 1st and 2nd defendants, prayed the court for an adjournment to be able to formally file bail applications of their clients.

The Makurdi Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Monday, November 4, 2019, arraigned 26-year-old suspected internet fraudster, James Kuve Sughter in Federal High Court, Makurdi, Benue State, presided over by Justice Mobolaji Olajuwon.

Sughter was docked on two-count charges, bordering on fraud and possession of documents containing false pretences.
