The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
EFCC, Thursday, arraigned Amadi Nsirim before a
Federal High Court, Port Harcourt on a 2- count
charge bordering on conspiracy and obtaining
money under false pretence.
The man "sold" a land that did not belong to him.
The commission said the man sold land that is not
his and got paid for it. When the charges were read
to the accused person, he pleaded not guilty.
One of the charges reads, "That you, Justice Amadi
Nsirim and one Humphrey Amadi, now at large, on
or about the 15th of September, 2011 at Port
Harcourt judicial division, with intent to defraud,
induced one Solomon Egbo to pay the sum of Ten
Million and Four Hundred and Forty Thousand
Naira (N10, 440, 000) under the false pretense of
selling to him a building and an adjourning plot of
land situated at No. 80 Igwurutu Road by
Rumuokwurusi Road, Port Harcourt under the
pretext that the said building and adjourning land
belong to you, Justice Amadi Nsirim and
Humphrey (now at large) respectively.
A representation you knew to be false and thereby
committed an offence contrary to section 1(1)(b)
and punishable under section 1(3) of the Advance
Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act,
2006."
The judge, U.N Agomoh, granted the accused bail in
the sum of N1 million and two sureties in like sum
who must reside within the jurisdiction of court.
The case was adjourned to June 1, 2013 for trial.
