The police on Friday arraigned a former Director-General of
National Information Technology Development Agency, Peter Jack, in
a Mpape Magistrates’ Court, Abuja over alleged N50 million contract
scam.
Jack, 58, who resides at No. 17, Gana Street, Maitama, Abuja is
charged with two counts of criminal breach of trust and
cheating.
The prosecution counsel, Joshua Ayanna, told the court that
sometime in 2015, the complainant, Tunde Ajala, transferred N50
million to the defendant as payment to award a contract worth over
N1 billion.
Ayanna in addition, alleged that the contract was never awarded
and instead he converted the money to his personal use and every
effort to recover the money had proved abortive.
The prosecutor said that the offence contravened the provisions
of sections 312 and 322 of the Penal Code.
The defendant however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The Magistrate, Muhammed Zubairu, admitted the defendant to bail
in the sum of N5 million with one surety in like sum.
He adjourned the case until Nov. 15 for hearing.
