| Andy Uba |
Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja has approved the arraignment of former Anambra South Senator, Andy Uba, following a request by the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.
Uba faces a two-count charge related to an alleged N400 million fraud. The charges stem from accusations by George Uboh, who filed a petition with the police.
The court has scheduled February 18, 2025, for Uba to enter his plea.
Equally cited as 2nd and 3rd defendants in the suit, which was filed before the court, are Crystal Chidinma Uba and Benjamin Etu.
The IGP specifically alleged that the defendants, alongside one Hajiya Fatima who is said to be at large, had sometime in 2022, conspired and defrauded the complainant by making a presentation that they had perfected way to secure the position of the managing directorship of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) for any person that could afford the sum of N400 million, a claim that the defendants knew was not true.
They were said to have committed an offence contrary to section 8 and punishable under section 1 (3) of the advance fee fraud and other fraud related offences Act 2006.
