Alleged N2.2bn NEDC fraud trial stalled again

The trial of the National Coordinator of the Multi-Sectoral Crisis Recovery Project (MCRP) of the North East Development Commission (NEDC), Danjuma Mohammed, was again stalled on Thursday, June 25, 2026, following his absence before Justice K. N. Ogbonnaya of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Zuba, Abuja.

Justice Ogbonnaya expressed displeasure over the defendant’s consecutive absence from court without any verifiable justification, noting that no medical report had been properly filed before the court to support the defence’s claim that Mohammed was ill and receiving treatment.
