The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday arraigned one Tajudeen Yusuf before Justice A. L. Allagoa of the Federal High Court, Jos on a five count charge bordering on theft, forgery and obtaining money by false pretence.

Yusuf, a former Business Development Manager of Skye Bank, Jos Branch is alleged to have at different times received the sum of N200 million from one Alhaji Usman Tetengi, a customer of the bank for deposit in his account. Rather than pay the said amount into the customer account, the accused allegedly diverted the money for personal use while issuing fake deposit slips under the pretence that the account of the customer has been credit.

The accused pleaded not guilty.

On the strength of the not guilty plea of the accused, Justice Allagoa ordered that he should be remanded in prison custody.

The case was adjourned to Friday for further hearing on the bail application.
