    An alleged notorious land racketeering kingpin, Moses Erih and a company, Micmerab Resources Nigeria Limited, have been charged before a Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, Apo, Abuja, for alleged offences of conspiracy, obtaining money by false pretences and forgery.

    Moses Erih and the company were brought before Justice Baba Shaini, on the alleged offences on Tuesday, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

    The offences according to the prosecutor, Richard Dauda, are contrary to 1(1) (a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Act.

    The offences also contravened sections 363; 366 and 368 of the Penal Code Act Cap, 532 LFN (Abuja) 1990 and are punishable under Section 364 of the same Law.

    The prosecutor said the prime suspects, Moses Erih and Micmerab Resources Nigeria Limited, were culpable of obtaining money by false pretences.

    Though, the defendants’ arraignment was stalled due to the absence of their lawyer, and the matter was adjourned to October 5, 2023.

    Speaking after the court session, Counsel to the nominal complainant, Barrister Remy Agu, said the case was been pursued to end the menace of land racketeering.
