According to the prosecution, the complainant, Garba Adda’u, reported that Shehu trespassed on his property on September 6, locked the door, and assaulted his visually impaired wife and her two aides with an umbrella.

The wife sustained injuries and was taken to PHC Tudun Wada for medical attention.

Shehu pleaded not guilty, and his counsel, SM Abubakar, applied for bail.

The prosecutor opposed the application, citing concerns for the complainant’s safety due to the defendant’s proximity.

Senior Magistrate Lukman Sidi granted Shehu bail in the sum of N50,000 with one surety in like sum, requiring the surety to own an international passport and reside within the court’s jurisdiction.

The case was adjourned until October 8 for hearing.

The EFCC announced the case in a statement released via it’s X account on Monday.

Shuaibu pleaded “not guilty” to all charges, leading prosecution counsel M. Lawal to request a trial date.

His defense attorney, AbdulKareem Audu, did not submit a bail application, prompting Justice Khobo to remand Shuaibu in EFCC custody.

The charges stem from an incident in 2017 when Shuaibu fraudulently claimed to be the Group Executive Director of NNPC, promising to help his victim acquire over 2,000 litres of petroleum products.

The victim made several payments to Shuaibu’s bank accounts, but Shuaibu failed to deliver the products or return the funds.

Count one of his charges reads, “That you, Nuhu Ibrahim Shuaibu (a.k.a Ishaku Abdulrazak) (M) and lIya Garba (now deceased) sometime in 2017 in Kaduna within the judicial division of this honourable court did conspire between yourselves to do an illegal act, to wit: obtaining money under false pretence and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 8(a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Act.”

Another reads, “That you, Nuhu Ibrahim Shuaibu (a.k.a Ishaku Abdulrazak)(M) sometime in 2018 at Kaduna within the judicial division of this honourable court, with intent to defraud, obtained the total sum of N47,050,000.00 (Forty-Seven Million and Fifty Thousand Naira) from one Faisal Safiyanu, when you claimed to supply him petroleum products, which pretence you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1(1)(a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offenses Act 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Act.”
