    Justice Nathan Musa of the Gombe State High Court sitting in Gombe has convicted and sentenced a former cashier of Yola Electricity Distribution Company, YEDC, Ibrahim Aliyu to seven years imprisonment for criminal breach of trust and forgery.

    He was jailed on Tuesday, May 17, 2022 after pleading guilty to one-count amended charge bordering on criminal breach of trust and forgery upon his arraignment by the Gombe Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

    Aliyu was arraigned on November 17, 2020 on 36-count charges bordering on criminal breach of trust, forgery and using as genuine a forged document. He pleaded not guilty to the charges when read to him. However, the 36 charges were amended to one -count charge on May 17, 2022 and he pleaded guilty to it.
