In a significant legal move, the Gombe Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has brought charges against two individuals, Adamu Muhammad Dila and Aminu Sani (currently evading arrest). These charges stem from allegations of criminal misappropriation and cheating, with a substantial sum of N10,560,000 at the center of the case.

On Monday, September 18, 2023, Adamu Muhammad Dila found himself before the bench of Justice A. Muhammad at the Gombe State High Court, Gombe. The charges brought against him, along with his co-defendant Aminu Sani (who remains at large), encompass three counts related to criminal misappropriation and cheating.
