N150m fraud: EFCC arraigns 'mama Boko Haram'
Legit.ng earlier reported that the EFCC arraigned Aisha Alkali Wakil, also known as Mama Boko Haram, alongside Tahiru Saidu Daura and Prince Lawal Shoyode before the Borno state high court in Maiduguri.
They were arraigned before Justice Umaru Fadawu on a two-count charge bordering on alleged conspiracy and cheating to the tune of N150 million.
Wakil, Daura and Shoyode were chief executive officer (CEO), programme manager and country director, respectively, of Complete Care and Aid Foundation (a non-governmental organisation) when they allegedly committed the crime with another suspect at large, Saidu Mukhtar, in August 2018 in Maiduguri, Borno state.
