The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arraigned a former vice-chancellor, Professor Ibrahim Garba, and the bursar, Ibrahim Usman, of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Kaduna State, on eight counts bordering on theft and money laundering to the tune of N1 billion.
The anti-graft commission disclosed this on its Twitter page Thursday.
The duo were arraigned before Justice A.A. Bello of the Kaduna State High Court by the Kaduna Zonal Command of the EFCC.
According to the commission, the arraignment followed months of discreet investigation triggered by a petition accusing the Garba and Usman of diverting monies meant for the renovation of the popular Kongo Conference Hotel, Zaria, from various accounts belonging to the institution into their private accounts.
