REA Finance Director,Sambo

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, on Monday, arraigned Abubakar Sambo, Director of Finance and Account of the Rural Electrification Agency, REA, for alleged fraud to the tune of N1.84 billion.

Sambo was arraigned before Justice Bolaji Olajuwon of a Federal High Court, Abuja on three-count charge for allegedly diverting the funds to personal accounts. He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge, after which ICPC’s counsel, Osuobeni Akponimisingha, prayed the court for a trial date. But Sambo’s lawyer, Isiaka Dikko, SAN, informed the court of the defendant’s bail application which had already been filed.

84 billion in different tranches for the use of Okojie, Aminat, Kwakwa, Abdullahi, Titus and Karaye for a purported project supervision exercise without authority. The offense was said to be contrary to and punishable under Section 6 of the Cybercrimes Act, 2015. In count three, Sambo was alleged to have conferred corrupt advantage on Okojie, Aminat, Kwakwa, Abdullahi, Titus and Karaye when he used his access password to access the REA’s GIFMIS platform and finalized the payment of N1.
