EFCC Arraigns CEO for Alleged N500, 000 Fraud in Maiduguri
The Maiduguri Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Thursday, June 4, 2026, arraigned one Bilal Muhammad before Justice Amina Mustapha Ibrahim of the Borno State High Court sitting in Maiduguri.
The defendant was arraigned on a two -count charge bordering on obtaining by false pretense to the tune of N500, 000.00 (Five Hundred Thousand Naira).
Count one reads: "That you, Bilal Muhammad whilst being the Chief Executive Officer of GDF Home Sales Enterprises Ltd (a.k.a GDF Company) on or about April, 2025 in Maiduguri, Borno State within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, with intent to defraud obtained the sum of N500,000 (Five Hundred Thousand Naira) from Adamu Abubakar, under the false pretense that same is meant for the purchase of a Tricycle (aka Keke Napep), a representation which you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1 (1) and punishable under Section 1(3) of the Advance Fee Fraud and other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006."
The defendant pleaded “not guilty” to the charges when they were read to him.
Following his plea, prosecution counsel A.D Abdulmalik prayed for a trial date and urged the court to remand the defendant in a Correctional facility.
Justice Ibrahim thereafter adjourned the matter till June 22, 2026 for commencement of hearing and ordered the remand of the defendant in Maiduguri maximum Correctional facility.
A Capsule to Ingest and Digest in the Overall Interest of the PDP
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of Nigeria like any other registered political party, remains a single entity in the Eyes of the Law! It currently governs by the Positions of Law, being monitored and supervised by the Electoral Management Body of Nigeria (INEC) in compliance with the Constitutions of the FRN, PDP, Electoral Act, INEC & PDP Electoral Guidelines without ambiguity!
For emphasis, political parties are products of the Law of Nigeria, and that includes each party’s internal workings/affairs which MUST COMPLY with its own laws/rules (i.e., its registered Constitution and Electoral Guidelines).
The Entity (PDP) under the Legally Recognized Leadership of Hon Abdulrahman Mohammed and Senator Samuel Anyanwu has concluded its primaries’ processes for all the Elective Positions ahead of the 2027 General Elections and the Candidates for the Elective Positions - State Assemblies, House of Representatives, Senatorial Districts, Governorships and Presidential - have emerged nationwide.
For the record, all the Congresses and Special National Convention for the primaries conducted by the Legally Recognized Leadership was duly monitored by a high-powered INEC Delegations at all levels (as the Commission did monitor all the outstanding ExCo congresses and National Convention of the PDP in March 2026).
Consequently, any other supposed gathering or contrary actions and inactions amounts to CONTRAPTIONS, CONTRADICTIONS, MISINFORMATION, FAKE NEWS, and CONFUSION against the PDP’s teeming members and supporters; and therefore, such intentional acts appears very unfair.
Especially any illegal action at this crucial period of electioneering is an affront against the PDP, the Courts, and INEC Timelines which has exhausted its primaries window today being 30th of May, 2026.
To this end, in the overall interest of the Party (PDP), the Law and Democracy, the PDP Intra-Party conflicts have been LAID TO REST by the Apex (Supreme) Court of the Land. Except there is a thinking in some quarters that the Supreme Court is GOING To Speak otherwise later against its own earlier position (I strongly doubt it).
As such, my honest plea with respect to all concerned, is to allow frayed nerves and bruised egos calm down for the good of the Party and by extension, our common good and the Country as well. It is high time everyone reconciled with this FACT - this is the bitter capsule/pill to swallow, please.
PDP…Power to the People!!
Long live the PDP!!!

The airport security agencies should be held responsible for that madness cos if they were waiting for the flight as the pilot had alerted them this incident wouldn't have happened.
The Staff who released the video of Comfort Emmanson containing indecent exposure to the public will be singled out and adequately sanctioned.

Jubilation As Coalition Political Party Emerges.
A political platform for the COALITION has emerged.
The party known as All Democratic Alliance , ADA, will lead the force to RESCUE & RECOVER Nigeria 🇳🇬.
We call on @inecnigeria to ensure Democracy is protected.
But how can @THISDAYLIVE publish such without fact checking even me that is an ordinary citizen knew immediately when I saw it that it's fake. They should do am apology (he never wore clothes with sleeves)
The picture of VeryDarkMan (VDM) holding a sign at the EFCC headquarters is not authentic. Fact-checking by Dubawa confirmed it was manipulated from a 2023 Instagram post, showing inconsistencies like a misspelled name and VDM smiling. The EFCC did not release such an image, and VDM warned against its use. While his arrest on May 2, 2025, for cyberstalking and financial crimes is verified, the picture is fabricated and not part of official reports.
You don dey fear now when you stormed the residence of the HoA members you were a lover of what?
You are one person @SimFubaraKSC fubara should stay away from if he wants to return as the governor coa you are filled with so much trouble.
Videos don't lie.
I believe in live and lets live. I believe in let there be peace amongst us so Obio/Akpor and Rivers State can thrive. I'm committed to the peace agenda of Mr President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Rivers State.
The enemies may be trying so hard to paint me black, but my latest interview with Tvcnewsng, I proved once more that I'm a lover of peace, that I'm committed to peace in Rivers State. And I used the interview as an opportunity to call for peace in Rivers State.
I'm also debunking a video that is circulating on social media, where violent words were used. That is not, that can’t be, that will never be me Ambassador Chijioke Ihunwo. In fact, I disassociate myself from such video, and wishes to let the spreaders of such video, know that I would meet in court with them if they don’t stop spreading such satanic, doctored video aimed at painting me as a violent person.
