The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will on Friday, arraign an official of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Philomina Chieshe over the missing N35 million proceeds in her custody.
This was contained in a statement Friday night by EFCC spokesman, Tony Orilade.
The money disappeared at the Benue State JAMB office in Makurdi.
EFCC said Chieshe will be arraigned alongside five others, namely: Samuel Umoru, Yakubu Jekada, Daniel Agbo, Priscilla Ogunsola, and Aliyu Yakubu before Justice Peter Afen of a Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, Abuja.
Chieshe made headlines when she claimed that a mysterious snake swallowed about N35million cash accrued from sale of e-JAMB cards in the state.
“The controversial JAMB official is being prosecuted by the EFCC on an eight-count charge, following her refusal to furnish the management of JAMB the true information on the financial status of JAMB e-cards supplied to the Benue Zonal office between 2014 and 2016. Chieshe’s action is contrary to Section 139 (a) of the Penal Code Law”, the statement added.
