Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has initiated legal action against former Senator Andy Uba, who represented Anambra South, and two other individuals over allegations of a ₦400 million fraud. The lawsuit, filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja before Justice Inyang Ekwo, includes two counts, with Crystal Uba and Benjamin Etu named as the second and third defendants.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

 

The charges, filed on October 10, 2024, by Abdulrashid Sidi from the Legal/Prosecution Section at Police Force Headquarters, Abuja, involve claims that the accused conspired in 2022 to defraud George Uboh. They are accused of falsely promising to secure the appointment of a Managing Director for the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) in exchange for ₦400 million.

The defendants allegedly misrepresented their ability to influence the NDDC appointment and converted the funds for personal use, violating the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud-Related Offences Act.

Uboh, in a petition submitted to the IGP, provided documentary and voice recordings as evidence. Six witnesses are expected to testify against the defendants. The case has been adjourned to February 18, 2025, due to the defendants evading service of court documents and a prior fundamental rights enforcement order that delayed their court appearance.
