The three suspects, identified as Great Johnson Philip, Adegoke Alaba Bright and Joman Kingsley Tamarkro, were arraigned before Phoebe Ayua, justice of the federal high court in Port Harcourt, on an 11-count charge bordering on conspiracy and obtaining money under false pretence.
Wilson Uwujaren, EFCC spokesperson, in a statement on Tuesday, said the defendants allegedly defrauded and obtained the sum of N88,855,000 from Robag Marine and Offshore Logistics Limited.
“The defendants’ trouble began when a petitioner alleged that, sometime in September 2020, he instructed his account officer in one of the new generation banks, to source for US dollar equivalent of the sum of N88,855,000 in any reputable bureau de change firm,” the statement reads.
