Man gets 10 years in jail for defrauding retired Kano treasurer of N200m

One Saad Madaki has been sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment for defrauding one Auwalu Abdulkadir, a retired Kano State treasurer, of N200m.

Justice J. K. Dagat of the Federal High Court in Kano, while giving the judgment, also ordered Madaki to refund the money to the retiree.

Madaki was arraigned by the Kano zonal office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on one count of obtaining the money under false pretences.

Madaki, upon arraignment on April 4, 2017, pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Prosecution counsel, Douglas I. Gift, presented five witnesses and seven exhibits to the court to establish Madaki’s guilt.
