The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Thursday, brought a Chinese, Zhengjia Jin, before an Ikeja Special Offences Court, for alleged bribery and N301 million fraud. Jin was arraigned on a four-count charge bordering on retention of stolen property, bribery and stealing.
The EFCC Counsel, Ahmad Usman, told the court that the defendant allegedly committed the offences between March 5 and Aug. 9 in Lagos . He alleged that the defendant dishonestly retained an aggregate sum of N301 million in his account number- 1861390260 domiciled in Access Bank, which belonged to Golden Diamond Industrial Manufacturing Company Ltd.
The anti-graft agency also stated that the defendant dishonestly converted the N301 million to his personal use. According to the EFCC, the offences contravene Sections 83, 328, Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011 and Sections 280 and 287 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015. The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges. The Defence Counsel, A.C. Ezenduka informed the court of a bail application.
