Docked EFCC Official Denies Fraud Charge

An official of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Davis Ibrahim, yesterday denied the charge of fraud preferred against him by the agency.

Ibrahim, who claimed innocence through his lawyer, Mr E. D. Onyeke, told an Ikeja High Court in Lagos that the process through which he was identified for the alleged offence was flawed.

The accused, who is an Administrative Officer with the EFCC, was charged to court for allegedly defrauding one Mrs Augusta Eleshin of N55, 000.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Ibrahim was charged alongside Somorin Olusegun, an alleged accomplice and mobile phone repairer, before Justice Joseph Oyewole.
