| Some of the controversial buses |
This is definitely not the best of time for the embattled boss of transport firm, Cross Country Limited and leading socialite, Mr. Bube Okorodudu, as a Lagos High Court in Ikeja has fixed
February 6, for his arraignment, for allegedly stealing N82.85m.
SHOWBIZPLUS gathered from The Punch that they were charged along with Car Link
Limited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission with nine counts
of stealing, conspiracy to steal, forgery and uttering.
The EFCC alleged that the accused
conspired among themselves and stole the money, being proceeds of
alleged fraudulent sale of 17 units of Volkswagen transporter buses
belonging to AG Moeller Limited.
The anti-graft agency filed the suit,
with charge number, ID/2679C/13 and dated August 1, 2013, before Justice
Lateef Lawal-Akapo.
According to Mr. Francis Usani, who
signed the charges on behalf of the EFCC, the accused stole the money
between February 13, 2008 and August 14, 2009.
Those the EFCC claimed the buses were
fraudulently sold to were GMT Nigeria Ltd; Multichoice Nigeria Ltd; and
Law Union and Rock/TFS Finance Ltd.
The accused were said to have forged and
“uttered” a document titled: ‘Nigeria Customs Service Motor Vehicle
Duty Certificate’ with number A008911777 to facilitate the alleged
stealing.
The alleged offence was said to have
contravened section 390 of the Criminal Code Cap. C17 Vol. 2 Laws of
Lagos State of Nigeria 2003.
The prosecution claimed that other offences of forgery and uttering violated provisions of Sections 467 and 468 of the same law.
