Photo:Fake EFCC staff sentenced to one year imprisonment

By


Justice Turaki Mohammed of the Federal Hgh Court sitting in Port Harcourt,  Rivers State, on Monday,  March 11,  2019 convicted and sentenced to one year imprisonment,  Mr David Nimdu,  a fake staff of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,  EFCC,  arrested and put to trial by the Port Harcourt's Zone of the Commission.

The convict was arraigned on one- count charge bordering on obtaining the sum of N250, 000.00 (Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira) only under false pretences from a petitioner that alleged that he claimed to be an EFCC Staff.

Trial commenced in the matter but Nimdu later pleaded "guilty" on a plea bargain arrangement and was sentenced to one year imprisonment.  He was also ordered to make restitution of the money involved in the scam.

Nimdu's ordeal began when he struck an agreement with a petitioner to assist in the recovery of a loan of N15,300,000.00            (Fifteen Million, Three Hundred Thousand Naira) only owed by a banker,  Patience Amaewhule, in Port Harcourt.

The banker allegedly obtained the loan from the petitioner and promised to pay back in 120 days.

However,  she failed to keep faith with the promise and Nimdu came on the scene to assist in the recovery of the loan.

To demonstrate to the petitioner that he was indeed an EFCC's Staff, Nimdu allegedly went with the petitioner to Amaewhule's office to arrest her.  He even recorded a Statement made by the banker and collected her house's documents.

He ordered the banker to commence the repayment of the loan to the petitioner and directed her to pay an initial sum of N250,000,.00 (Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira) only into his (Nimdu) bank account, promising that the money would be payed into EFCC's loan recovery account.

The petitioner later found out that Nimdu was an impersonator and reported him to the Commission.

Investigations by the EFCC showed that, Nimdu was a mobile Policeman dismissed in 2012 after an Orderly Room trial occasioned by allegations of corrupt practices imputed to him and for which he was found guilty. Before being dismissed from the Nigeria Police, he worked as a seconded staff to the EFCC and had since been disengaged from the Commission.

Nimdu was also found to have sent several text messages to different individuals claiming to be an EFCC's operative from the Abuja office.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
