The Maiduguri Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has secured the conviction and sentencing of Josephine Udeh, before Justice Aisha Kumaliya of the Borno State High Court, sitting in Maiduguri on a one-count charge of obtaining money by false pretence to the tune of N5, 059,000.

.
She pleaded not guilty upon her arraignment on Wednesday, April 24, 2019.

In the course of the trial, the prosecution presented 10 witnesses and 10 exhibits which pushed her to enter into a plea bargain agreement with the EFCC.
.
At the resumed hearing, today, Wednesday, July 31, 2019, prosecution counsel Benjamin Manji prayed the court to substitute an earlier charge filed on the April 9, 2019 with an amended charge of the day, July 31, 2019.
.
The amended charge reads: “That you, Josephine Udeh being the director of Dala Standard Secondary School, Maiduguri, sometime between 2017 and 2018 at Maiduguri, Borno State within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, did dishonestly misappropriate the sum of N5,059,000 (Five Million and Fifty-nine Thousand Naira) only, being monies meant for 2017/2018 WAEC registration fees for 284 students of the said Dala Standard Secondary School, Maiduguri and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 308 of the Penal Code Law cap 102 Laws of Borno State of Nigeria and Punishable under Section 309 of the same Law.”
.
She pleaded guilty to the amended charge in line with the plea bargain agreement she opted for.
.
Following her guilty plea, the prosecution counsel prayed the court to convict her as charged.
.
However, the defence counsel, B.G Sanda prayed for leniency and urged the court to temper justice with mercy as the defendant has already repayed the misappropriated sum.

So in your ignorant mind, that's an Igbo name.

This explains why Buhari and Justice tanko couldn't provide a waec certificate...

Their smart Southern Principals had been diverting the waec fees for ages, and we can't blame her, since she knows they can't pass main subject except arabic and IRK, and whats the use of certificate when an emirs recomendation letter can get you into any instituition, or occupation Army inclussivr

EFCC can only prosecute but it's up to the judge to do the needful.

What if those students didn't write the examination as the money was for registration?

You must be an Ipob.

You guys have an unnatural affinity with criminals. No wonder Mbaise people fought with the Pope and Igbos under Kanu fought with Jesus Christ.

I know Buhari released 'repented' Boko boys but did they release cows too?

If he didn't, how did this one get to Nairaland?

Efcc doesn't sentence people, the Court does.

Hustle o, so that you would be able to educate your children and they won't be receiving free education on Nairaland.

You should endeavour to ask your father and mother why they never thought you how to mind your damn business or act civil on a public forum, sure you think and act like a dunce, but limit it to yourself and your lowlife peers,

Now run along!! Atta boy!

Your level of stupidity can't be acquired, you must have inherited it from both parents. Blaming Southerners for the failure rate of the North. It's like you're mad. Can your father pass Primary 6 exam?

I suggest you give my initial post to someone in your house with a functional brain to break it down to your level. I doubt if you'll find any.

EFCC is the embodiment of corruption in this country. Imagine! They collected bribe and then change the charge from OBT to misappropriation of funds.

Witch hunting things........... Na only her did that in the whole Boko haram state ?
