The Uyo Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned a lawyer, Barrister Samuel Ebitu, alongside six others, for allegedly stealing the sum of N13,171,415.25 from the account of a deceased police officer.
Their arraignment was sequel to a petition by the widow of a late Chief Superintendent of Police, Godwin Edet Umoren, alleging that the respondents diverted the said sum from the account of her dead husband.
They were arraigned before Justice Agatha Okeke of the Federal High Court sitting in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on two-count charges bordering on conspiracy, forgery and obtaining by false pretence.
The six others are, Etimbuk Godwin Edet, Michael Jeremiah Isong, Sunny Isong, Godwin Ekanem, Emmanuel Jackson Isong and Harrison Ofuomah Emamoke.
