N5.2bn Fraud: EFCC Arrests Ex-JAMB Boss, Dibu Ojerinde

1 min read
He argued that the fresh application by the defendant had been overtaken by events since he has already been charged before another court on a separate matter. After he had listened to both sides, Justice Egwuatu adjourned the matter till June 20. Ojerinde was re-arrested on January 26 this year, on the premises of the Federal High Court by operatives of the ICPC. His arrest came after a former Deputy Director of Finance at the examination body, Mr. Jimoh Olabisi, gave his testimony as the 4th prosecution witness.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has rearrested the former head of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, Dibu Ojerinde.

Recall that the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) had arraigned Ojerinde on July 6, 2021 on an 18-count charge bordering on alleged misappropriation of funds to the tune of N5.2 billion.

On Wednesday, Jimoh Olabisi, former deputy director at JAMB, alleged in court that the former registrar used him to divert federal government funds.

Olabisi, a witness of the ICPC, spoke at the federal high Court in Abuja.

The commission alleged that the former registrar committed multiple fraud while heading JAMB and the National Examination Council (NECO).
