The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned Abdulmajid Halifa Nazifi before the Kano State High Court over the alleged misappropriation of ₦34.875 million belonging to Fahad Balarabe Adaji.
The defendant was arraigned on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, before Justice Musa Karaye in Kano on a one-count charge of criminal misappropriation.
According to the charge, the alleged offence occurred between September and October 2024. The EFCC accused Nazifi of directing that the money be transferred into the First Bank account of Muazu Abdullahi for the purchase of IRS Spaghetti from BUA, but allegedly converting the funds to his personal use instead.
The commission said the alleged conduct contravened Section 308 of the Penal Code Law of Kano State and is punishable under Section 309 of the same law. When the charge was read to him in court, Nazifi pleaded not guilty to the allegation.
Following the plea, prosecution counsel Mustapha Maiwada asked the court to fix a date for trial and order the defendant’s remand in a correctional facility.
Justice Karaye granted the remand request and adjourned the case until November 2, 2026, for hearing. The allegations have yet to be proven in court.
