"Captain" Nuhu Haruna
Operatives of the Kaduna Zonal Command of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested one Captain Nuhu Haruna for an alleged criminal breach of trust to
the tune of N1,020,000.000 (One Billion,
Twenty Million Naira) only.
The suspect
was arrested when a petitioner alleged that sometime in December 2023, he was
introduced to the suspect for the purpose of a foreign exchange transaction
involving N1,020,000.00. He allegedly paid the money into the suspect's
account to offer him its dollar equivalent.
He explained that the suspect furnished him with evidence of payments made
which turned out to be false as he never received the dollar equivalent.
Preliminary
investigation showed that Haruna, who claimed to be an airline captain,
allegedly diverted the money for his personal use by buying properties and
vehicles which he intended to use for the start up of his alleged airline
company, Air Unity Aviation Services.
A landed
property purchased at N155,000,000 (One Hundred and Fifty Five Thousand Naira)
and another purchased at N350,000 (Three
Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira), three
18-Seater Toyota Hiace buses imprinted with the logo of Air Unity Aviation
Services and four exotic cars were traced to the suspect.
He would be
charged to court at the conclusion of investigations
