NSCDC Officers, A Woman in Kano Jailed for Fraud
Court Jails Two NSCDC Officers for N2.7m Employment Fraud
Justice Malami Umar Dogon Daji of the Sokoto State High Court, sitting in Sokoto today Tuesday, July 6, 2021, convicted and sentenced the duo of Mainasara Malami and Emmanuel Salihu (both staff of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps) to seven years imprisonment without an option of fine for conspiracy and obtaining money by false pretence to the tune of Two Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira (N2,750,000.00).
One of the count charge reads: “That you Mainasara Malami and Emmanuel Salihu sometime in October, 2017 in Sokoto within the Judicial Division of the High Court of Sokoto State with intent to defraud, obtained the total sum of N2,750,000.00 from some members of the public under false pretence of securing employment with the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, which you knew to be false and you  thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1(1)(a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Act.”
They pleaded not guilty to all the charges, which necessitated their trial.
Prosecution counsel, S. H Sa’ad, in the course of the trial tendered several documents and called witnesses to prove the case against the convicts.
Justice Dogon Daji found the defendants guilty on both counts, convicted and sentenced them to seven years imprisonment on each of the counts without an option of fine.
The sentences are to run concurrently effective from the date of arrest. The Judge also ordered restitution to the victims.
The convicts’ journey to prison started when the Commission received a petition alleging that  Mainasara Malami of the Sokoto State Command of the NSCDC, represented himself as capable of securing employment for various persons and obtained the sum of N2,750,000.00 (Two Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira) from them.
During investigation, Mainasara admitted collecting the excess of N2,000,000.00 (Two Million) for job offers with the NSCDC which he claimed to have done at the instance of his boss, one Inspector Emmanuel Salihu of NSCDC Headquarters, Abuja. And that all monies obtained were transferred to the account of the said Salihu.
But Salihu admitted to have received only N694, 000.00 from Mainasara.

Woman Bags 7 Years Jail Term for N2.9m Fraud
The Kano Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, today July 6, 2021 secured the conviction of one Habiba Abubakar before Justice J.K Daggard of the Federal High Court sitting in Kano on a two count charge of obtaining by false pretense.
The convict fraudulently sold a plot of land to the complainant with fake documents. According to the complainant, the convict sometime in November 2016 offered to sell to him a plot of land located at Rijiyar Zaki, Kano. She claimed that she put the land for sale in order to raise funds to carter for the needs of her seven children who had lost their father.
The complainant further alleged that they subsequently agreed on the sum of Two Million, Two Hundred Thousand Naira Only (N2, 200,000.00) and that he gave her some cars valued at the said price and took possession of the land.
Subsequently, one Balarabe suddenly appeared and claimed ownership of the said property.
It was later discovered that the title documents given to the petitioner were fake.
Upon arraignment, the convict pleaded not guilty to the charge.
In the course of the trial, prosecution counsel, Musa Isa called four witnesses and tendered several documents that were admitted in evidence.
In his judgment today, Justice Daggard agreed that the prosecution has proved the case against the convict beyond reasonable doubt and convicted her.
Daggard subsequently sentenced her to seven years imprisonment on each of the two counts. The sentences are to run concurrently.
The convict was also ordered to restitute the sum of N2, 900,000 (Two Million Nine Hundred Thousand Naira Only) to the victim.

EFCC, NSCDC to Enhance Collaboration
The Lagos and Akwa-Ibom Commands of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, have sought greater support from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, especially in the training of its officers.
Speaking during a courtesy to the Lagos Zonal Head of EFCC, Ahmed Ghali, on Tuesday, July 6, 2021, the Commandant, NSCDC, Lagos Command,  Eweka Douglas Okoro, appraised the existing relationship with the EFCC, adding that “ At our earlier stage, we were not so vast as regard prosecution of oil thieves, but you came to our aide.
“You were the principal people that trained our officers in the Anti-Fraud Unit.
“We will never forget the training you gave our officers.
“ As a critical stakeholder, coupled with the EFCC zero tolerance to corruption, which we have tapped into courtesy of our Commandant-General ,Dr Ahmed Abubakar Audu, I feel this courtesy visit  is most necessary , particularly as we need to strengthen our  existing relationship and seek more opportunities for the training of our officers in the Anti-fraud Unit.”
In his remarks, Ghali described the NSCDC as a critical stakeholder in the fight against corruption and economic sabotage.
He also sought greater collaboration with the NSCDC in tackling the menace of oil theft.
According to him, “We have to collaborate for the betterment of our nation.”
In Uyo, the Commandant of the Akwa Ibom state Command of the NSCDC, Commander Abidemi Majekodumi pledged to extend the frontier of cooperation and synergy between the two agencies in the interest of the country.
Majekodumi made the pledge when he led a team on a courtesy visit to the Uyo Zonal Office of the EFCC.
“The EFCC being a child of necessity has done tremendously well, and as children of the same father, we must maintain a stronger synergy and aim to achieve more. I have been meeting officials of the EFCC and I’m always pleased to assist in any way I can and we must continue to extend that frontier to achieve all our goals” the Commandant said.
The Uyo Zonal Head of the Commission, ACE-II Nwanneka Nwokike thanked the Commandant and his entourage for the visit. He commended the Commandant for his assistance to officers of the Zone. “You have proven to be a true partner in the fight against corruption, economic and financial crimes, and you truly have the best interest of this country at heart,” he said.
