Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) brought charges against Saadu Maiwada and Sani Lawal BK before Justice Musa Danladi of the Katsina State High Court. The duo faces a five-count charge, including conspiracy and criminal breach of trust.

Maiwada and Lawal BK held positions as Sub Treasurer and Deputy Sub Treasurer, respectively, in the office of the Accountant General of Katsina State. Allegedly, they conspired and diverted N289 million from the state’s coffers.

During the investigation, it was discovered that the defendants funneled the embezzled funds through the account of Integrated Gas Services Limited, a company where Maiwada served as a director. Further findings revealed that N49 million from the company’s account was transferred to the personal account of Lawal BK, who currently holds the position of Deputy Accountant General.

Upon being read the charges, both defendants pleaded not guilty. The prosecution, represented by Aisha Tahar Habib, requested a trial date. The defense counsel, J B Israel, made an oral bail application on behalf of his clients. However, the prosecution objected, insisting on a formal application to comply with the court’s record-keeping procedures.

Justice Danladi granted bail to the defendants, setting the amount at N5 million each. The bail conditions require each defendant to provide a surety with a landed property within Katsina and present letters of introduction from a traditional ruler.

The trial was rescheduled to July 24, 2023.
