Abdulmajid Halifa Nazifi appeared before a Kano State High Court on Wednesday accused of misappropriating N34.875 million intended for spaghetti purchases. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) brought one count of criminal misappropriation against the defendant. Prosecutors alleged that between September and October 2024, Nazifi diverted the funds, intended for BUA, into the First Bank account of Muazu Abdullahi for personal use instead of purchasing spaghetti.
The offense is punishable under Kano State Penal Code Law, Section 308 and 309. Nazifi pleaded not guilty, prompting the prosecution to request a trial date and the remand of the defendant in custody. Justice Musa Karaye ordered Nazifi to be held in a correctional facility and set a new trial date for November 2, 2026.
