A suspect, Kabiru Mohammed who was on Tuesday arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC for issuing a dud cheque to his partner, Hajiya Aishatu Abubakar as balance payment for some vehicles supplied him has denied any culpability in the business transaction, describing his arraignment by the anti-graft agency as unfair.<\/p>\n
Kabiru, who spoke through his lawyer, Bar Umar Faruk Ahmed, maintained that there was no basis for the EFCC to have arraigned his client as the transaction was purely civil and has since been resolved by the parties involved.According to Ahmed, “the purported cheque was neither presented by the drawee nor rejected by the bank. As such, there couldn\u2019t have been any case of dud cheque. Also, there is documentary evidence signed by the nominal complainant, Hajiya Aishatu Abubakar, acknowledging the receipt of her money (balance and final payment) from the counsel on behalf of the accused.”<\/p>\n
