The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday arraigned one Emmanuel Ogbu and a firm, Next Tech- Global Services Ltd. in an FCT High Court over alleged issuance of N5 million dud cheque.

Ogbu was arraigned on a two-count charge bordering on breach of trust and issuance of dud cheque.

The prosecuting counsel, Mrs Ashibi Amedu, told the court that on March 12, 2013 in Abuja, Ogbu borrowed N5 million from Mr Michael Omefe, the nominal complainant.

He said that the defendant borrowed the money to enable him construct four unit cell blocks at Yenagoa Prisons.
