In a statement released by the anti-graft agency on its website, Madami allegedly approached one Ibrahim Ringim Haruna, a distributor of pasta products, with claims that his council needed pasta products for distribution to its citizens.
Consequently, the company, sometime in November 2018, supplied products worth sixteen million, eighty thousand naira only (N16, 080,000) to the suspect who paid a deposit of N5m, leaving a balance of N11.080,000.00.
After the delivery of the goods, he diverted the proceeds for his personal use and refused to pay the balance as agreed.
The suspect will be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded.
