Abubakar Mohammed Aboki, a Nigerian who was recently extradited from the United Arab Emirates, was arraigned on Tuesday, before a Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja, on a six-count charge bordering on Criminal Breach of Trust, Obtaining by False Pretence, Forgery, and Money Laundering.
In a statement on Thursday by the Force PRO, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, it would be recalled that on the 25th of May 2025, the Nigeria Police Force released an official statement on the successful extradition of Muhammed Abubakar Aboki on the 23rd of May 2025.
This was following a high-profile transnational fraud case involving the sum of $307,500 USD, in which the suspect allegedly defrauded an international automobile dealer under the guise of facilitating shipment of luxury vehicles from Dubai to Nigeria.
After his arrest, investigations carried out revealed the suspect had diverted the funds for personal use and issued a forged Bill of Lading to deceive the complainant. Upon his arraignment, the Honourable Court ordered the defendant be remanded at the Nigeria Correctional Service facility in Keffi, Nasarawa State, pending the hearing of his bail application scheduled for 17th July 2025.
The Force assured members of the public of diligent investigation and prosecution in criminal cases, with a view to strengthening the criminal justice system in Nigeria.
