Two
officers of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC,
Douglas William and Abba Ishaku, who were arraigned before an Abuja High Court
for a four-count charge bordering on conspiracy and obtaining money under
false pretence, have been sentenced to five years imprisonment without an
option of fine. Trouble
started for the officers when they allegedly demanded for N100, 000 from
Kullima Kachalla, a former Chairman of Bama Local Government in Borno state in
2010, by posing as investigators of the EFCC.
They
were alleged to have asked Mr. Kachalla to send them the money in
order to bribe other investigators of the Commission to destroy a petition
written to the EFCC, which indicted him (the former chairman) for alleged
mismanagement of public funds.
