The EFCC yesterday July 31st arraigned the
duo of Ebenezer Joshua and Franca Johnson
before Justice Abbas Ahman of the Kebbi
State High Court on a three count charge of
forgery. The accused persons who once
worked together at a new generation bank
allegedly conspired and forged the
Certificate of registration of the Special
Control Unit against Money Laundering
(SCUML).
The scam came to light when the SCUML
received two registration forms for
clearance from a new generation bank
bearing the names, Noble Women for Better
Tomorrow Initiative and another, Support
Initiative for Better Maternal Health. Upon
receipt of the certificate, some abnormalities
were discovered during verification,
including the fact that the sector codes on
the certificates were those allocated to
construction companies and not NGOs.
