The Kaduna Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested the Councillor representing Kakuri Hausa Ward, Kaduna South Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Hon. Theophilus Madami, for offences bordering on alleged criminal breach of trust and misappropriation of funds to the tune of N11.08 million.
The suspect allegedly approached one Ibrahim Ringim Haruna, Chief Executive Officer of Pyramid Supplied Services Limited, a distributor of pasta products, with claims that his council needed pasta products for distribution to its citizens.
Consequently, the company, sometime in November 2018, supplied products worth N16.08 million to Madami, who paid a deposit of N5 million, leaving a balance of N11.08 million.
After delivery of the goods, he allegedly diverted the proceeds his personal use and refused to pay the balance as agreed.
The suspect will be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded, the EFCC said.
