The former Vice Chancellor of the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Professor Ibrahim Garba, and the former Bursar of the institution, Ibrahim Shehu Usman, were on Thursday, January 12, 2023, arraigned before Justice A.A Bello of the Kaduna State High Court on an eight count charge bordering on theft and money laundering to the tune of over N1billion.
The duo were arraigned by the Kaduna Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC).
The arraignment followed months of discreet investigation triggered by a petition accusing the duo of diverting monies meant for the renovation of the popular Kongo Conference Hotel, Zaria.
The investigation established that over one billion Naira was allegedly stolen from different accounts of the institution by the defendants and diverted into their private accounts.
