The pair face six counts including fraud, obtaining money under false pretenses, and forgery. Prosecutors allege they collected N603.4 million from Oluseye Yomi-Sholoye between August and October 2024, falsely promising to secure her appointment as Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.
Ibrahim also stands accused of presenting a forged document claiming to originate from the Office of the National Security Adviser at the Presidential Villa in August 2024.
Prosecution counsel Y. Tarfa requested a trial date and asked that Ibrahim be held in custody. Defense attorney B.B. Alhaji told the court a bail application had been filed but wasn’t ready for hearing, requesting his client be held at EFCC facilities rather than a correctional center due to health concerns.
