An ex Local Government Council Chairman has been sent to prison for doing something which many have considered shocking.
Ibrahim Baba, the immediate past sole administrator of Kaura Local Government in Kaduna State, has been sentenced to prison.
The man was sent to seven years imprisonment without option of fine by Justice Tukur Mu’azu of Kaduna State High Court.
Premium Times reports that Mr. Baba was jailed for offences bordering on obtaining money by false pretence, the EFCC said in a statement Thursday.
The convict was arraigned before Justice Mu’azu on January 7 on allegation of defrauding Auwal Ibrahim of Rahusa Investment Limited, Sabon Hunkuyi, Kaduna State in 2011, over a phony gas supply contract.
The victim allegedly paid the convict N1 million for the supply of five trucks of gas at the rate of N200,000 per truck. “But after the payment was made, the victim neither received the product nor gets a refund,” EFCC said.
