11bn Fraud: How Former Governor Of Katsina Broke Down In Tears In Court, Begs EFCC
Former Governor of Katsina State, Ibrahim Shehu Shema broke down in tears at the state High Court following his re-arrest by officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The former Governor is being charged alongside three others, Sani Hamisu Makana, Lawal Ahmad Safana and Ibrahim Lawal Dankaba, by the EFCC for the alleged offences of criminal breach of trust, abuse of office and conversion of public funds to the tune of over N11bn during his tenure as governor.
It was gathered that EFCC officials blocked Shema's black Lexus sports utility vehicle, a development which led to a face-off between security operatives and Shema’s legal counsels and aides which lasted over 40 minutes at the gate of the State High court on Daura Road, Katsina.
Shema broke down in tears and reportedly begged the EFCC officials to allow him ride in his vehicle, when it became clear that he could not evade arrest, the Sun reports.
