EFCC arraigns man over N6.85m vehicle fraud in Abuja
EFCC Arraigns Man for Alleged N6.85 Million Fraud
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has charged Idris Gana Mohammed with fraud, alleging that he failed to deliver a Toyota Camry after receiving N6.85 million.
Mohammed was arraigned on September 16, 2026, by the EFCC’s Abuja Zonal Directorate before Justice A.M. Abdullahi at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Maitama.
The charges include single counts of criminal misappropriation and obtaining money under false pretenses. According to the EFCC, Mohammed allegedly accepted the payment from Ampatech Nigeria Limited for a black Toyota Camry between June 10 and 13, 2026, but did not deliver the vehicle or return the funds.
The prosecution’s charge stated that Mohammed “dishonestly converted to your personal use the aggregate sum of N6,850,000.00” during that timeframe.
Upon being read the charge, Mohammed pleaded not guilty. Prosecutor G.G. Gajere requested the court to commence trial, while defense attorney Ibrahim Jibril indicated that he had submitted a bail application to the prosecution.
After considering both parties, Justice Abdullahi adjourned the case until September 24, 2026, for trial to begin. The judge also ordered that Mohammed remains in custody at the Kuje Correctional Centre until the next hearing.
The case stems from a petition by Mohammed Ahmed Patigi of Ampatech Nigeria Limited, claiming that the sum was paid for the purchase of the vehicle.
