Nigeria _The Kwara State High Court, presided over by Justice Mahmud, has scheduled March 12-13 for the continuation of the trial of former Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed and his ex-Commissioner for Finance, Demola Banu
They are accused of diverting N5.78 billion from the State Universal Basic Education Fund.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) alleges that the duo misappropriated UBEC’s matching grants between 2013 and 2019. However, during the trial, the prosecution witness, Mr. Hassan, stated that Ahmed and Banu are not signatories to the SUBEB account and cannot be held liable for the missing funds. The defendants have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
