A suspected fraudster, who defrauded a
group of Bureau de Change operators of $
18,600,290 USD and disappeared after he was
granted administrative bail by the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has
been re-arrested. Alhaji Saidu Hashim was
picked up by operatives of the Commission
from his hide out in Lagos.
Alhaji Hashim who is the owner of Amjigar
Bureau de Change Limited alongside one
Ahmed Bashir allegedly defrauded a group of
52 bureaux de change operating under the
aegis of Association of Creditors of Amjigar
Bureau de Change, of the sum of $18,600,290
(Eighteen Million, Six Hundred Thousand, Two
Hundred and Ninety Dollars) between August
and October 2008.
The suspect is alleged to have collected the
money and diverted it for his personal use
thereby failing to honour his financial
obligation to the group.
The suspect who was first arrested by the
EFCC was granted administrative bail prior to
his arraignment in court but jumped bail,
thereby stalling his prosecution. But his
accomplice, Ahmed Bashir is currently
standing trial at the Federal High Court,
Kaduna.
The fraudulent activities of the suspect and
his disappearance brought told hardship to
his victims and their dependants.
Alhaji Hashim will soon be arraigned in court.
