The spokesperson of the EFCC, Wilson
Uwujaaaren, said, “Obiejigo, a Higher
National Diploma holder from Federal
Polytechnic, Oko, Anambra allegedly
forged a reference letter purportedly
from the minister of finance, Dr. (Mrs)
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, alongside his
curriculum vitae, requesting for
employment into the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC);
Tertiary Education Trust Fund
(TETFUND) and Nigerian Security
Printing and Minting (NSPM) company.”
He said the accused pleaded not guilty to
the charge when it was read to him,
adding that in view of his plea, the
lawyer to the EFCC, Halidu Mohammed,
urged the court to fix a date to
commence trial and also to remand the
accused in prison custody.
“However, the defence counsel, J. E
Chukwuemeka, through a formal
application, asked the court to admit the
accused to bail but his application was
opposed by Mohammed who asked the
court for time to respond.
“Justice Idris adjourned the case to June
2, 2015 for hearing of the bail
application and commencement of trial
and ordered the accused to be remanded
in Kuje Prison custody”, he added.
